Indonesian Pork Satay with Sweet and Spicy Sauce (Sate Babi) - Very Easy!

INGREDIENTS

Grind the following into spice paste:

• 10 shallots

• 5 cloves garlic

• 2 red long chilies - deseeded if you want it less spicy

• 10 pieces of candlenuts - toasted first

• 2 cm of galangal

• 1 cm turmeric

Other ingredients:

• 700 gram pork loin - cut into bite size cubes

• 50 gram palm sugar - shredded into small pieces

• 1 1/2 tablespoon coriander powder

• ¼ teaspoon cumin powder

• 6 tablespoon sweet soy sauce

• 3 tablespoon soy sauce

• juices from 1 lime

• 30 bamboo skewers - soak into water before use, it will prevent the stick from burning

Satay sauce:

• 2 shallots - thinly sliced

• 1 red long chilies - thinly sliced

• 2 tablespoon of lime juice

STEPS:

1. In a large bowl, mixed together all the ingredients and spice paste (except chili sauce and bamboo skewers). Marinate for at least 2 hours. I usually marinate it overnight for better result.

2. Once marinated, skewer the pork with bamboo skewers, I put 4 pieces of pork per skewer. (DO NOT THROW the leftover marinating sauce - set this aside to make satay sauce)

3. Cook the satay in a hot grilling pan or charcoal BBQ grill (this will give a better char aroma, however grilling pan or oven will be totally fine too).

4. Grill until the meat fully cooked and have a little char. (for about 3 minute each side). Put the cooked satay into the plate, set aside.

5. For the sauce, heat up the pan and transfer the leftover marinating sauce and cook until boiling and reduced, add salt or sugar if needed.

6. Transfer the sauce into a bowl, and combine the sauce with shallots, chili and lime juice, served with the pork satay.
