satay!!!!

when you are a student and holiday gonna start soon, what are you gonna do? what else? home party of course.... eating and drinking!

the recent party, i challenged myself! i prepared satay... something i'm sure i won't be preparing in malaysia! in malaysia, with less than rm 10, you can fill up your stomach with 10 satays with loads of 'nasi himpit' and also a glass of 'teh-o ais limau'.

my friends in malaysia were amazed with my cooking while my friends over here enjoyed with full of satisfaction! an ex-colleague who is now in houston asked for the recipe! here you go, mr lee...

satay
-lemongrass (to be cut into small pieces)
-chilli powder
-garlic
-onion
-tumeric (no fresh tumeric, tumeric powder also can)
-sugar
-soy sauce
-mixed spices powder
-sesame oil
-chicken or beef (cut into small pieces)

blend lemongrass, garlic, onion and tumeric (add some water).
add the blended mixture to the meat.
add sugar, soy sauce, chilli powder, mixed spices powder and sesame oil to the meat.
mix well.
marinate for a few hours.

peanut sauce
-peanuts
-butter
-curry powder
-chilli powder
-fresh chilli
-cumin powder
-coriander powder
-garlic
-onion
-lemongrass
-tamarind
-sugar
-salt
-cooking oil
-coconut milk/ milk

roast peanuts (without oil). remove skin and then blend the peanuts.
blend garlic, onion, chilli and lemongrass (add some water).
heat the pan with 3-4 teaspoons of oil.
add the blended garlic, onion, chilli and lemongrass into pan and cook until golden brown.
add water (2-3 cups depend on the peanuts) and tamarind juice.
add blended peanuts and stir well.
add sugar, salt, cumin powder, coriander powder, chilli powder and a bit of curry powder.
add coconut milk (one cup) and a bit of butter.
stir well under low heat until thick

good luck folks..... i dont think those who are in malaysia will ever try!
