Satay or sate is a popular dish in Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, southern Philippines and Thailand. It's believe that satay (sate in Indonesian) have originated in Java or Sumatera but some believe that it was a dish brought by Chinese and or Arab immigrants since Indonesia is predominantly moslem.
The simple explanation for satay (sate) or satti (southern Philippines) is grilled meat on sticks or skewers. Commonly the meat is diced and marinated in spices such as turmeric, onion, galangal, coconut milk, lemon grass and kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce). The meats used to make satay are ranging from chicken, beef, mutton, pork, fish, prawn, cow tripe to exotic meats such as snake and turtle. Ketupat or lontong (rice cakes), rice, peanut sauce, cucumber, onion or acar are the best companion for serving satay (sate). Peanut sauce or kecap manis is a must to enjoy satay
