Method
Rinse the rice, cover with 130 ml water, season with salt, and cook for 15 minutes until tender.
Cut the chicken1 breast into long2 strips and toss with 10 ml soy sauce, curry powder, the juice of half a lime8, grated garlic10, and oil.
Thread the chicken1 onto skewers and let stand for 10 minutes.
Mix the peanut4 butter, coconut5 milk, remaining soy sauce, honey, and lime8 juice, then warm for 2–3 minutes over low heat until smooth.
Cook the skewers on a grill pan for 8–10 minutes, turning, until the chicken1 is browned and cooked through.
Slice the cucumber3 and serve the satay with the rice, cucumber, and warm peanut4 sauce.
Tips
- Why it works
- Cut the chicken into long strips of even thickness. That way it cooks in 8–10 minutes without dried-out edges.
- Substitutions
- Replace the coconut milk with water or regular milk 1:1, the sauce will be less rich. Replace the lime with lemon in the same amount.
- Common mistakes
- A common mistake is cooking too long. If the edges turn dry and very dark before 8 minutes, lower the heat.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep the chicken and rice in the fridge for up to 2 days, and the sauce separately. Reheat the chicken and rice in a pan with a spoonful of water, and warm the sauce over low heat.
- Serve with
- Serve for dinner with cucumber and an extra portion of rice if you want a more filling meal.
