My son requested for Satay Chicken to be served during the international day ( coming Friday 19 Dec 2014). With the limited ingredients that I have available I managed to make a quick satay peanut sauce that turns out not too bad.
One of the major ingredient that save me a lot time & trouble is the Nasi Lemak Chilli sauce from Kwong Cheong Thye brought from Singapore. It is one of the best that I'd tasted.
Satay Peanut Sauce Recipe

1 cup of roasted peanuts , crushed or pounded to semi fine. I like my peanuts chuncky.
2 tbsp of nasi lemak chilli sauce ( picture above).

2 lemon grass , slightly crushed
