How to Make Sate Babi Or Ayam

  1. Cut 1 lb of pork (or chicken breasts) into 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1/4 cup sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), 2 tbsp kecap asin (salty soy sauce), 1 tbsp brown sugar, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp ground cumin, 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. Add the cubed meat to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably longer (up to 4 hours in the refrigerator).
  4. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated meat onto skewers.
  5. Preheat your grill, grill pan, or barbecue to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for approximately 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, and basting frequently with the remaining marinade for added flavour and glaze.
  6. Serve immediately with ketjap peanut sauce (recipe can be found online) and prawn crackers. Enjoy!
