How to make Satay Goreng (Fried Satay)


Satay Goreng is a dish whereby the Satay meat is fried instead of being grilled without skewers. Try this recipe for Satay goreng (recipe taken from The Newpaper, Sunday, 19th August 2012) by housewife Madam Siti Habibah, 54.

If you think putting the meat on the skewers takes time and troublesome, then this recipe idea is for you. According to Madam Siti, satay meat should taste sweet, but you can vary the quantity according to your preferences.

Satay goreng can be made with your choice of meat like mutton, beef or chicken. You can get the chuck tender or flank steak for beef satay. I prefer boneless chicken thigh for the chicken Satay as it taste juicier.
