Satay
Satay (also written
saté) is a dish consisting of grilled
meat,
fish or
poultry on a bamboo skewer served with a
spicy peanut sauce. It originated in
Indonesia but is popular in many
southeast Asian countries such as
Malaysia and
Thailand.
It was believed that the food was invented by Chinese immigrants who sold the skewered barbecue meat on the street. The word satay means "triple stacked" (三疊) in Amoy dialect.
