ingredients

2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 pinch salt
¹⁄₄ cup vegetable oil
1 ¹⁄₄ 1 1/4 lbs lamb or 1 1/4 lbs pork, sliced thinly into strips

directions

Soak a package of small bamboo skewers in water for 2-3 hours.
Prepare all ingredients and have at hand.
Combine the seasoning ingredients in a medium size bowl and mix well.
Mix the meat with the seasoning and marinate at room temperature for one hour or refrigerate overnight.
Preheat a grill or broiler.
Thread the marinated meat onto the skewers.
Cook the satays over a hot fire or broil them in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until done.
Do not leave them unattended!
Serve immediately on a garnished plate.
The best flavor is from grilling, but you can broil skewers in the oven too.
Use a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil and cake rack to keep the skewers off the foil, otherwise they will simmer in their own juices, becoming tough and dry.
