Last night we continued the Asian week theme with chicken satay from the BBQ Bible. As a recipe book, it is far more versatile than the name suggests. They even have recipes for cocktails! Now that is my idea of a BBQ.
Unfortunately, I live in Portland. Having a grand ol' bbq in the backyard is not always feasible due to our trademark weather. I have made this recipe both outside on the grill and inside using my grill pan. There is a difference, to be sure, but not enough to stop my satay senses from salivating. If I want satay, I want satay. You know what I mean.
The key to the satay, of course, is the peanut sauce. I could keep this stuff by the spoonful even if not chicken were present. For image purposes I do not recommend this route.
Peanut Sauce
In a blender combine
2 tsp fresh ginger
1 or 2 thai, serrano, or jalapeno chiles
1 clove garlic
2 scallions
2/3 cup chunky peanut butter
1/3 cup coconut milk or more as needed
2 tbp fish sauce
1 tbp fresh lime juice
2 tsp sugar
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
