Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 2
Ingredients: Tenderised Chicken, optional (Note 5):; 8 oz / 250g chicken breast; 3/4 tsp baking soda (bi carb soda) (optional); Satay Seasoning:; 1/2 tsp coriander powder; 1/2 tsp cumin powder; 1/4 tsp turmeric powder; 1/4 tsp chilli powder (Not US Chilli powder! See Note 1); 1 1/2 tsp Curry Powder (Note 2); 1/2 tsp salt; 1/4 tsp white pepper; Satay Sauce:; 1 1/2 tbsp smooth peanut butter; 2 tsp brown sugar; 1 tsp light soy sauce (Note 3); 2 tsp rice vinegar; 2 tsp Sriracha (or other hot sauce); 1/2 tsp lemongrass paste (Note 4); 1/3 cup coconut milk (full fat); 1/4 cup water; Stir Fry:; 1 tbsp peanut oil (or other plain oil); 1 onion , finely chopped; 2 garlic cloves , minced; Shallots/scallions , sliced (optional garnish)

1. If you are in the US, do not use what you know as Chili Powder! That is a spice blend, not pure ground chilies. If you can't find pure ground chili, substitute with cayenne pepper.

2. Any is fine, I use Clive of India, Keens and packets of ground spice labelled simply as "Curry Powder".

3. All purpose / normal soy sauce can also be used. I don't recommend dark soy sauce as the flavour is too intense.

4. I like using Lemongrass Paste instead of fresh lemongrass because it can be stirred straight into the sauce. Fresh lemongrass is tougher and needs to be very finely chopped and be sautéed then incorporated into the sauce. This is a quick recipe so I use paste instead because it's easier!

Here in Australia, I purchased lemongrass paste in tubes in the fresh produce section of supermarkets. Lemongrass in a jar will also work just fine.

5. Tenderising - optional to tenderise chicken so it's really soft like at Chinese restaurants. Read more about the method here - How to Velvet Chicken the Chinese Restaurant Way
