🇮🇩 Indonesia recipe
Satay (Sate Ayam)
Sate Ayam is Indonesia's most famous street food, originating from Java. Tender chunks of chicken are marinated in a fragrant blend of turmeric, coriander, and lemongrass, then threaded onto bamboo skewers and grilled over glowing charcoal. The real star is the accompanying peanut sauce, a rich and slightly spicy dipping sauce that balances sweet, salty, and tangy flavors perfectly.
