I like to taste authentic food, not sauce out of a jar. Once I taught myself how to make this satay sauce, I went on to teach hundreds of women how to make it for their families, eliminating loads of preservatives and sugars!
Gluten Free Satay Sauce can be used on any protein or you could try tofu for a vegan meal. You will be licking the frypan after each cook-up!
Why I Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because everyone loves satay! Especially served drizzled over a chicken skewer. I love the real nuts, less sugar and dairy free option!
ENJOY THE DIFFERENCE
Ingredients
A REALLY GOOD PEANUT BUTTER: A jar with minimal sugar and preservatives. Yes, they are available! All peanut butter is gluten-free.
COCONUT CREAM: One of my favourite ingredients to cook with! Make sure it’s cream, not milk, as we want our satay sauce to be thick!
CHINESE 5 SPICE: Another fab spice that will become your best friend in the spice department. It makes every dish taste authentic.
GARLIC AND ONION: Diced and ready to pan-fry!
TO SERVE: Fresh nuts, coriander (cilantro) and chilli! (Optional).
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Start by threading your chicken onto bamboo sticks. I prefer chicken thighs as this part of the chicken does not dry out or become chewy. Place the skewers on an oven tray lined with baking paper and cook at 180°c for 20 mins until cooked through
Add diced garlic and onion to a saucepan with a drizzle of olive oil and sauté gently. You could also use coconut oil.
Add one jar of peanut butter, one can of coconut cream, and two tablespoons of tamari. Reduce the heat to low and stir until combined.
Somehow, like magic, the sauce will become thick and delicious. Once combined, it’s cooked!
Place your cooked chicken sticks on a platter. Drizzle over the satay sauce to ensure each part of the chicken is covered. Sprinkle freshly chopped nuts. I love to add coriander and chilli, plus a squeeze of lemon.
Tips and Tricks
Can I make this ahead?
Yes you can! Make your sauce and place it in the fridge for later on. You can also skewer the chicken ready to bake.
Can I use coconut milk?
I much prefer coconut cream for this recipe otherwise the sauce will be too runny and lifeless
Can I freeze this dish?
No! This is best made fresh, but will keep in the fridge and is delicious reheated.
