Satay Gai
Chicken Satay The original Thaifusion dish, satay comes from Indonesia and Malaysia. But the Thai version, inmy humble opinion, has a better range of flavors. The meat is more savory andthe sauce is sweeter, but in a pleasant way. It draws on the influence ofIndians, Muslims and Arabs traveling through Thailand trading spices andtextiles.My tip for this dish isusing Thai curry paste for its incredible amount of herbs, which will bring alot of flavor to the meat. This recipe uses chicken but any of your favoriteproteins will make a delicious satay.
