Ingredients

• 500 g Vegetarian chicken strips
• 60 ml Soy sauce
• 30 ml Lime juice
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 200 ml Coconut milk
• 100 g Crunchy peanut butter
• 2 tsp Red curry paste
• 1 tsp Sriracha sauce
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tbsp Chopped roasted peanuts
• 10 Satay skewers

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, ground coriander, ground cumin, and minced garlic. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.

Step 2

Add the vegetarian chicken strips to the marinade, making sure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the strips are marinating, soak the satay skewers in water to prevent them from burning during cooking.

Step 4

For the peanut sauce, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, red curry paste, and Sriracha sauce.

Step 5

Stir the sauce continuously until it thickens and becomes smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Preheat a grill or large grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the surface with vegetable oil.

Step 7

Thread the marinated vegetarian chicken strips onto the soaked skewers.

Step 8

Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they have a nice char and are heated through.

Step 9

Serve the grilled skewers with a generous drizzle of peanut sauce, garnished with chopped cilantro and roasted peanuts.

Step 10

Enjoy your Vegetarian Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce as an appetizer or main course!
