🇲🇾 Malaysia recipe
Satay
Malaysian satay is a beloved street food of marinated meat threaded onto bamboo skewers and grilled over a charcoal flame. The marinade is a fragrant blend of lemongrass, turmeric, and galangal, while the accompanying peanut sauce is rich, slightly sweet, and deeply spiced. Satay Kajang, from the town of Kajang in Selangor, is considered the gold standard of Malaysian satay.
