The Kids love foods cooked on a skewer. Whenever we go to
Penang, we always order beef satay- $7.50/5 sticks, so make that two orders. After seeing this recipe, I was curious if we could have the same dish for a fraction of the price.
It calls for two items that might not be in everyone's pantry. The first is fish sauce, which I had bought many years ago, and which until now had remained unopened. The smell is pungent and an integral part of Southeast Asian cuisine. I thought I bought the bottle with three crabs on it, and I now see it's got two crabs and one shrimp. I was duped!
Another ingredient is Sriracha, which we use more often. The Husband enjoys putting this condiment on anything from beans and rice to a fried egg.
