Note: Look for the fish sauce in any ethnic grocery or supermarket with an international or gourmet aisle.
Ingredients:
The Marinade:
4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup orange juice
1 Tbsp. fish sauce
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 pound boneless chicken (or shrimp, beef, pork) cut into finger size strips
The Sauce:
1/4-1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tsp. curry paste
1 Tbsp. lime juice
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. fish sauce
1/4 cup peanut butter
A little chicken stock or water
Preparation:
Combine the marinade ingredients and marinate the chicken for two hours
or overnight.
Skewer the marinated meat and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Combine the sauce ingredients, whisk together and add a little stock or
water to consistency (not too thick, not too thin). Taste for sweetness.
Add a little more sugar, fish sauce or lime juice to taste.
Serve the grilled skewers with the sauce and serve garnished with chopped
cilantro or scallions and crushed peanuts if desired.
Tip: If you're making a lot of these for a party, marinate them skewered
in a baking dish, bake the whole dish at 350 in the oven for a while and
finish cooking on the grill.
