Ingredients

500g (1 lb) diced chicken thigh

20 bamboo skewers

 

Marinade:

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 tbsp curry powder

1 tsp white sugar

 

Thai cucumber relish (Ajat):

½ cup white sugar

½ cup white vinegar

1 tsp sea salt

2 tbsp diced cucumber

2 small Asian red shallots, sliced

2 long red chillies, sliced

 

Satay sauce:

3 tbsp roasted peanuts

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1½ tbsp Thai red curry paste

1 cup coconut milk

2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter

1 tbsp fish sauce

1 tsp white sugar

Steps
  • Step 1

    Mix together the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken and mix to combine. Thread the chicken onto bamboo skewers. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes to overnight.

  • Step 2

    To make the cucumber relish, heat the sugar, vinegar and salt in a saucepan over high heat for 3-4 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool. Then transfer to a bowl. Stir through the cucumber, shallots and chillies.

  • Step 3

    For the satay sauce, use a mortar and pestle or food processor to grind roasted peanuts to a fine powder. Set aside.

  • Step 4

    Heat the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the curry paste and cook for a minute until fragrant. Add the coconut milk, peanut butter, fish sauce and sugar. Then stir through the roasted peanut powder. Cook for a further minute. Then remove from heat. And keep warm or reheat when ready to serve.

  • Step 5

    Heat a barbecue grill plate or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken skewers for 3-4 minutes each side or until cooked through. Serve warm with the warm satay sauce and the Thai cucumber relish.

Easy & Yummy!

My local store has been out of red Thai curry paste for unbearably long, so I used green paste and added Sriracha to it and it turned out very yummy. So good.

Perfect !

Another recipe that makes you travel!

Gorgeous.

I froze some of the Satay sauce. I then offered it with roti canai (Marion’s recipe of course) and it’s a treat.
