Ingredients
- 1 pound pork shoulder or pork tenderloin, cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
For the peanut sauce:
- 1 cup unsalted peanuts roasted and finely ground
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon tamarind paste dissolved in 2 tablespoons of warm water
- 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
- 1 tablespoon palm sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1/2 cup water
- Salt to taste
- chili flakes or chili sauce for extra spice (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, vegetable oil, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric powder, and brown sugar. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Add the pork cubes to the marinade and toss until all the meat is evenly coated. Allow the pork to marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator for best flavor.
- Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated pork onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring each piece is secure.
- Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through with a slightly charred exterior.
- While the pork is grilling, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the ground peanuts, minced garlic, tamarind paste mixture, sweet soy sauce, palm sugar, water, and a pinch of salt. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
- Remove the cooked satay from the grill and serve immediately with the peanut sauce. Optionally, you can sprinkle some chili flakes or serve with chili sauce.
