Instructions: Cube your meat and place it in a bowl with remaining ingredients.

Add a little water to the mixture to barely cover the meat and mix everything well.

Let this lot sit for a couple of hours in the fridge then remove the meat and thread it on bamboo skewers that have been soaking in water.

You can intersperse the meat with some of the onion if you want (which is why we cut it the way we did:) ) SAVE all the marinade.

Barbecue or grill the meat. Meanwhile take around half a cup of smooth or crunchy peanut butter, put it in a saucepan, and gradually mix in the marinade (strained, if you wish). Place over a gently heat and stir while it heats through. If it doesnt look like enough, add more peanut butter and more water - this stuff is ADDICTIVE so make plenty. You might want to chuck in some more sambal oelek if you like your food fiery. You can actually add quite a bit of water and still get a fair amount of sauce from the peanut butter. It just seems to thicken up as you go. But compensate by adding more soy (for the saltiness and flavour) and more garlic and spicesas you see fit.

We have this dish with either plain rice or nasi goreng (fried rice).

We like to have side dishes of sliced gherkins, tomato quarters, and bananas sliced and sprinkled with lemon juice.

If you dont feel up to grilling and saucemaking simultaneously, make the sauce first and reheat it in the microwave when you need it. Add sugar to it if you like a sweeter sate sauce. Use coconut milk instead of water if you wish. Selamat makan!!!
