Satay Peanut Sauce



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
Ingredients : 
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). 
1 tbsp of curry powder 
5 - 6 shallots , finely chopped 
4 tbsp of sugar. I used brown sugar. Add more if you like your sauce sweet. 
2 lemon grass , slightly crushed 
1 tbsp tamarind pulp soak in 1 cup of water. Remove the seeds & keep the pulp & juice. 
3 tbsp oil 
Salt to taste. 

Preparation methods : 
1. Heat up the wok with oil, & add in the shallots , fry until fragrant then add chilli follow by the curry powder. Fry until you get nice fragrant then add in the lemon grass. Fry for a little longer. 
2. Add in the crushed peanuts then add the tamarind juice & pulp. Stir well & let it simmer for a while, about 15 minutes or until the sauce is thicken. 
3. Add in the sugar & adjust the sweetness according to taste. Add in the salt. 
4. Serve with satay chicken / BBQ chicken. 

Bon appétit !! 

Chin's notes: 
1. Adjust the sweetness to your liking. I prefer the sweet satay peanut sauce. 
2. Easy & quick to make.
