Mango Sticky Rice & Peanut Satay Chicken

This is an adaptation, and it ended up in a settled place where it works great for me, but since everyone has different tools at their disposal and tastes/cooking styles/devices, I’ll do my best to share the original sources so you can find an adaptation that works for you.

I always skip the marinade – doesn’t need it

Recipe

Chicken

• 1 frozen skinless boneless breast, thawed
• 30min-2hr before dinner time, chop into bite size pieces
• Toss in a bowl with a few tbs of olive oil, some salt, garlic powder, onion powder to taste
• Drench a few bamboo skewers on a plate so they don’t burn on the grill
• Load chicken onto skewers, they can be squished, it’s okay
• Grill or Air fry for 8 min at 400F, then flip and 8 more minutes

Peanut Sauce

• Index card recipe calls for 1.5 cups coconut milk, I use 1/4 cup. It makes enough for two people. These portions are for 1/4 cup coconut milk, scale accordingly:

• 2 tbs peanut butter

• 2 tbs water

• 1 tsp yellow curry power

• 2 tsp sugar

• 1/3 tsp soy sauce

• 1/4 tsp salt

• Mix all in a saucepan, simmer on med/low until thick

Goes well with

Mango Sticky Rice

• Rinse 1/2 cup glutinous rice in a glass bowl until water runs clear, then leave covered with water (about 1/3 cup, water just has to be covering all the rice)
• Add 1-1.5 cup water to bottom of instant pot, place bowl on top of trivet if fits, otherwise it can go directly in the pot.
• Cook on high pressure for 13 min
• Natural release 10 min

While that’s cooking, simmer on the stove:

• 2/3 cup coconut milk
• 2.5 tbsp sugar
• .25tsp salt. Keep warm on stove

After the 10 min natural release, mix coconut milk mixture into the rice and let sit to absorb 5-20 min. It’s ready when it’s thick

Dice a Mango and put it on top
