Satay & Sauce


Satay is one of the most famous Malay dishes in Singapore which is served at many hawker, restaurants etc. Whenever friends from overeseas come, I will recommend them this grilled seasoned skewered meat. Nowadays the prices of each satay stick is getting more expensive so I decided to try making them myself.

Method:

You are right about the pricing of satay these days. So ex and some even have more fats than meat. Def worth making them at home.

How was the recipe? Good?

Hi Edith, so far I am contented with this recipe. If I happen to find another one, I will give it a try and compare.
