• ·     500g minced pork

• ·      2 tbsp kecap manis OR 1 tbsp each soy and fish sauce

• ·      ½ tsp shrimp paste (optional)

• ·      Juice 1 lime

• ·      125ml coconut cream (or half a block)

The peanut sauce can be made in advance:

1. Gently cook the onion in the oil until very soft, then add the garlic and chillies

2. Add the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar and cook for a couple of minutes

Cook’s Notes

1. The sauce recipe makes a large amount, which can be frozen for future use. After defrosting just bring it to the boil and let it cool.

2. Make a pineapple satay sauce by omitting the desiccated coconut and sugar, and adding a small can of finely chopped pineapple.
