Satay is a dish similar to kebabs in that it is made of cubes of skewered meat that is grilled and eaten with a peanut sauce dip.
The commonly used meats in satay are beef, mutton, lamb and chicken. Among non-Muslims, pork is also used. The small cuts of meat are marinated in various spices that also tenderise the meat. They are then skewered through sharp, wooden sticks.
The satay is barbecued over a flaming charcoal fire and constantly brushed with oil for a tantalising glaze, until well-browned.Satay is often accompanied by ketupat (steamed rice) wrapped in woven coconut leaf packets.
