Satay

Satay (or sate ) is a barbecue dish that is originally from Indonesia, but in many countries of Southeast Asia is popular, like Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand. During the period of colonization, the Court ruled in the Dutch kitchen. The Japanese version is called yakitori. Satay in Indonesian means just as much as " meat that is grilled on Bambusspießchen over a wood fire ."

Ingredients and preparation vary widely from country to country. It may be marinated with turmeric meat, marinated fish, marinated shrimp or marinated chicken, but usually chicken or lamb. Can be served satay with spicy peanut sauce for example, or peanut gravy with shallots and Lontong ( Indonesian, steamed in coconut leaves rice). In Indonesia you eat satay with Acar (acidic vegetables mixture of raw carrots, cucumber, chilli and shallots ) as a side dish.

It is believed that satay was introduced by Chinese immigrants who sold those kebabs on the street. The word Satay means in the Chinese Amoy dialect " triple layer " (三叠).
