Ingredients

  • 500 g chicken thighs, cut into 2 cm pieces
  • 2 tsp madras curry powder
  • Sea salt flakes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • Steamed rice, roughly chopped cucumber, coriander sprigs, thinly sliced chilli, crushed peanuts, lime wedges, to serve

For the satay sauce

  • ⅓ cup smooth peanut butter
  • ⅓ cup sweet chilli sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) water

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, madras curry powder and a generous pinch of salt and mix well to combine.
  2. To make the satay sauce, combine the ingredients in a second bowl and whisk well until smooth.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat, then add the onion. Cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes, or until softened. Add the chicken and cook for a further 5-6 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat and stir through the satay sauce. Add a little extra splash of water if needed to thin out the sauce a little.
  4. Divide rice between serving bowls and top with the satay chicken and cucumber. Sprinkle with coriander, chilli and crushed peanuts and serve lime wedges on the side.
