We've made Satay several times over the years with mediocre results and were not fans. Your recipe has changed all that. The marinade is so much better than any we've come across in any other recipe and I've never made a peanut sauce so good (previous experiences were all with peanut butter). The cucumber pickle and the grilled bread were nice touches to create an authentic street food meal. We are now Satay fans and will make it again soon. Thanks, Pailin.

I’ve tried other satay recipes, and they’re not nearly as flavorful, especially the marinade for the pork and the peanut sauce. I love that I’m just adding some ingredients to a standard red curry paste. Don’t forget the pickles! They are delicious and a great palate cleanser. I used rice vinegar and thought they were perfect.

In reply to Vanessa. You can use the broiler but you won't get any browning. Probably will take 2-3 mins only on the top rack, but I've never done it so you'll have to experiment.

I don't have a grill, can I use the broiler in the oven and how long?

That Thai peanut sauce is great. I was able to get all the ingredients at local Vietnamese shop.

Literally the best ever. Most juicy chicken satay I have ever had (I used thigh meat which probably helped but still) and very flavorful. Got some nice crisped, almost caramelized bits from the grill, don’t be afraid of that. Thank you so much!!!

In reply to Wannatorn. Thank you! You can use evaporated milk instead because that will get you a similar richness. Using regular milk will be too light

Hi! I love your recipes. You make cooking Thai food look so easy! I have a question about the satay marinade. My son is allergic to coconut milk. Can I substitute regular milk for coconut milk? Thanks!

As always, the recipe is both delicious, well-written, and a learning experience! Another reason I bought the Hot Thai Kitchen Cookbook!

In reply to Kimberly. Hi Kimberly, if the tamarind concentrate is from Thailand of Vietnam, and it is a brown pourable liquid, it can be used in the same amount. You've got the right stuff, just different labeling.

Cannot wait to try this recipe! In my area, it seems I only have access to tamarind concentrate. Can that be used instead of juice? I would assume just in a smaller qty perhaps?
