Thai Red Curry glue is a "mystery fixing" in both the marinade and the sauce. You simply need about 2.5 tbsp which doesn't seem like a lot, however we don't need this to taste of red curry. We're simply utilizing it as a flavor enhancer.

THAI CHICKEN SATAY Sticks:

Combine the chicken and Marinade with 1/4 cup of coconut milk, at that point put in a safe spot for at any rate 20 minutes, or overnight.

String onto sticks - I do 4 to 5 pieces each.

Warmth 1.5 tbsp oil in an enormous non stick skillet over medium high warmth.

Cook sticks in clumps for 3 minutes on each side until brilliant.

Spot remaining coconut milk and Nut Sauce fixings in a pan over medium low warmth.

Present with sauce as an afterthought for plunging.

Formula Notes:

1. Sticks utilized for Asian chicken satay will in general be shorter than Western sticks. I like them since they fit in skillets! Don't hesitate to make mammoth ones with longer sticks.

2. Chicken - can be subbed with bosom or tenderloin however thigh is best for juiciest chicken. Can likewise sub with hamburger or pork - utilize a decent, pleasantly marbled cut appropriate for brisk cooking.

3. Curry powder - any is fine here. I use Clives or Keens.

4. Red curry glue - The best Thai red curry glue (as I would see it) is Maesri which comes in little jars and furthermore happens to be the least expensive. Sold everywhere markets (Coles, Woolies, Harris), Asian stores. In any case, any brand will do in light of the fact that it's an enhancer as opposed to key seasoning.

On the off chance that utilizing custom made Thai red curry glue, twofold the curry glue, include 1 tsp fish sauce + 1 tsp sugar into chicken marinade, and 2 tsp fish sauce + 2 tsp sugar into Nut Sauce (hand crafted doesn't have the seasonings container glue does).

5. Normal nutty spread is 100% peanuts and has a more grounded nut season than business nutty spread which has sugar and different added substances. It is additionally more slender so less water is required to accomplish the correct consistency. Pretty broadly accessible these days in the wellbeing nourishment segment of general stores.

Can utilize typical nutty spread yet the nut enhance isn't as acceptable and sauce will be thicker. Try not to be enticed to weaken with an excessive amount of water - it will weaken the flavor.

Sub: 1 cup crude unsalted peanuts blitzed until smooth with 1/2 cup or so coconut milk called for in the nut sauce (helps make it excessively smooth).

6. Dim soy sauce includes flavoring and develops shade of sauce. Can sub with light or universally handy soy sauce yet sauce shading will be lighter.

7. Juice vinegar can be subbed with plain white vinegar. Lime juice, rice vinegar or other clear vinegars are an alright substitute however not 100% valid.

8. Nut Sauce - makes more than you will require, most likely just utilize 1/3. Difficult to make less, additionally this formula utilizes an entire jar of coconut milk. Keeps going multi week in the cooler - or freeze.

Utilize extra for:

Sauce for rice, noodles, veggies (crude or steamed)

Make a straightforward Gado with steam veg, hard bubbled eggs and rice

Plunge for prawn saltines and vegetables

As the dressing for this Chinese Chicken Serving of mixed greens, Satay Noodle Plate of mixed greens, Nut Noodle Serving of mixed greens or Sesame Noodles
