Ingredients
Pork, beefs, or chickens (as desired). Fresh coconut milk, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, roasted peanuts, shallots, powdered turmeric, condensed milk, palm sugar, sugar, fish sauce, Sake or Mekhong (Thai whisky)
Preparation
Get rid of all the fat from meat. Thinly slice meat into strips with 1 inch wide and 3 inches long, put it in a bowl then set aside. Roast the coriander seeds and cumin seeds until they become brown, then finely pound them. Also mix and finely pound the shallots and roasted peanuts. Put the pounded ingredients into the prepared pork, pour in the coconut cream, add some palm sugar and sugar, fish sauce, powdered turmeric, condensed milk, and Sake. Squash the pork in order to soften the pork and to blend it with the prepared ingredients. Then leave it marinated for 3 hours. The pork is then ready for skewering.
Skewer sticks
Bring a bunch of coconut leaves, then peel to keep only its stems but leave a bit of leave at one end. Sharpen the stems' another end then skewer the pork piece by piece into the stick until each piece is crushed to form a round shape. The weight of skewered pork bends the stick. Keep the marinade sauce to sprinkle the pork while being grilled. Grill pork Satay until it is well done. The rest pieces of pork can be gathered then fried for filling in a sandwich.
