**Sate Sose**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 lb chicken or beef, cut into thin strips
– 1 cup coconut milk
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon turmeric
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Wooden skewers, soaked in water
**Instructions:**
1. In a bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
2. Add the chicken or beef strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to tenderize.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, thread the marinated meat onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring not to overcrowd the skewers for even cooking.
4. Place the skewers on the grill, allowing them to cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the meat is thoroughly cooked and has a nice charred exterior. Baste the skewers with any remaining marinade while grilling for added flavor.
5. While the meat is grilling, prepare the peanut sauce by combining:
– 1/2 cup peanut butter
– 1/4 cup coconut milk
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon lime juice
– 1 teaspoon minced garlic
– 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
– Chopped peanuts and sliced green onions for garnish
6. In a saucepan over low heat, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Stir continuously until the sauce is smooth and heated through.
7. Once the Sate Sose skewers are ready, serve them hot with the warm peanut sauce drizzled over the top. Garnish with chopped peanuts and sliced green onions for an extra pop of flavor and freshness.
8. Enjoy your Sate Sose with steamed rice, a side of crisp cucumber salad, or pickled vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal that transports you to the vibrant streets of Indonesia.
Whether you’re savoring these skewers with loved ones or treating yourself to a solo culinary adventure, Sate Sose is a recipe that embodies the essence of cozy gatherings and mouthwatering flavors.
