This week’s recipe is Gok's Chicken Satay and all the ingredients you need can be found below.

4 x chicken breast cut into slithers and bashed

170\g peanut butter (you can also use almond, pistachio or peanut butter)

1 tbsp oyster sauce

2 tbsp light soy

1 tbsp dark soy sauce

1 tbsp honey or agave syrup

Lime juice and zest

1 garlic clove, grated

Small piece ginger, grated

Pinch rock salt and a pinch of white pepper

1/2 tbsp mild curry powder

Add a little coconut milk or cream to make a dressing

Method:

Take the chicken breast and tenderise by bashing in a food bag until thin. Slice into strips and put to one side.

Mix the satay ingredients in a bowl and transfer ¾ to a large freezer bag - add the chicken strips and marinate for 3 hours or overnight. *Make sure you do not cross contaminate the reserved satay sauce for the dipping sauce with the raw chicken.

Remove the chicken from the fridge and thread the pieces onto skewers and place on a BBQ or griddle pan over a high heat for 4-6 minutes, or until cooked through. You can also cook on a baking sheet in the oven at 180c for 10-12 minutes.

Take the rest of the satay sauce and place into a small saucepan and add a little coconut milk or coconut cream and reduce over a medium heat until you have the consistency of a thick dipping sauce. You may need to add a little more oyster sauce.
