Satay Ayam (Chicken Satay/Skewer)【鸡肉沙爹】


I can't begin to tell how satay has been severely altered in many of the so-called Malaysian restaurants here in USA. Oh well, maybe I didn't go to the right restaurant. 

It is like a routine every year, especially in summer, I will received several requests asking for a authentic recipe for a Malaysian style satay, or skewer. 

I have been thinking to wait for my deck to get done and I will buy a charcoal grill to make this skewer, but then the project got delayed for a year. So no outdoor grill for now. 

I made this batch of satay using my table top oven, it turned out great and exactly the taste I remembered!

美国这里马来餐厅的沙爹做得都不地道,我答应过好几个网友要做一次地道的马来沙爹。本来一直想着今年把后院的deck做好再弄个grill,请朋友们来吃饭再做这个沙爹。

后来deck的计划延迟了一年,我刚好这几个星期也比较空,就终于把这个沙爹付诸行动。出来的效果非常好,真的很好吃,就是热量忒高了!

Ingredients: (make around 20-25 skewers)
500 gm Chicken thigh with skin on
20-25 bamboo skewers (soak in water for 15-20 minutes)

Marinate:
1 inch (about thumb size) of fresh turmeric or substitute with 2 tsp of turmeric powder
1 inch (about thumb size) of galangal
1 inch (about thumb size) of ginger root
1 stalk of lemongrass (use only the white part)
4-5 shallots or 1 medium size of onion
2 tsp of coriander powder
1 tsp of fennel seeds

Other:
3 tbsp of sugar (more if you prefer your satay to be at the sweeter side)
1/4 tsp of salt
1 tbsp of oil


材料: (可做 20-25串沙爹)
500 gm 带皮的鸡腿肉 (切成指姆大的块状)
20-25 根竹签 (泡水 10-20分钟备用)
1 只 中型 洋葱 切大块状
1/2 根 黄瓜,切块

腌料:
1 寸 (大约指姆大)的新鲜姜黄 或 2 tsp的黄姜粉代替
1 寸 (大约指姆大)的 兰姜/galangal
1 寸 (大约指姆大) 姜/ginger root
1 根 香茅 (去老皮,只用白色部分)
4-5 只红葱 或 1 只 中型的洋葱
2 小勺 芫荽粉/ coriander powder
1 小勺小茴香/fennel seeds

其他:

3 大勺 糖 (喜欢甜一点的可以酌量增加)
1/4 小勺 食盐
1 大勺 食油



1. Cut chicken meat into small bite size cubes. Dry roast fennel seeds and coriander powder in a pan for couple of minutes until fragrant, grind it using a coffee grinder or spice mill. 

2. Blend all ingredients listed under marinate with a little water in a blender to form a smooth paste.

3. Add the paste to chicken pieces, mix well and season with sugar and salt marinate over night, add 1 tbsp of oil at last.

4.Store remaining spices if any, in a airtight container and freeze it up for next round.

1. 把鸡肉切成指姆大的块状。把小茴香和芫荽粉在一口锅里干煸至香味溢出,用个磨咖啡豆的机器或磨香料的机器磨成粉状。

2. 把腌料里的所有材料加一点水磨成糊状。鸡肉块加入糖和腌拌匀后,加入磨好的香料糊和一大勺油拌匀,冷藏腌制一个晚上。

3. 剩下的腌料可以装盒子里冻起来,下次再做。喜欢味道浓郁一点的也可把所有腌料都倒入腌鸡块。


4. Thread chicken onto bamboo skewer, preheat oven to around 400 F then turn it to broil.

5. Lightly oiled a grill pan, line the chicken skewer on the pan and grill 5-6 minutes each side or until charred. Spray or brush some cooking oil in between for better grilling result.

Note: Grill as you would to any skewer if a grill is being used to make these satay.


4. 第二天把鸡肉串好,把烤箱预热至 400 F (200 C),然后转成上火/broil。

5. 在一个带烤架的烤盘上薄薄地喷上一层油, 把鸡肉串排好,入烤箱每面烤5-6分钟,间中取出喷或刷1-2次食油,烤制至有焦香的效果即可。

注: 如果用户外的烤炉的话,预热烤炉之后每面烤3-4分钟至焦香即可。

沾上爹酱,就着黄瓜和洋葱一起吃。这里没有条件做马来粽子ketupat,不然这款马来粽子/米饭可是沙爹不可或缺的一个配料之一哦!
