here are a couple of my favorite satay recipes from "the complete asian
cookbook" by charmaine solomon (my absolute favorite cookbook)

i generally add more tamarind or lemon juice and more chilli or sambal 
to the peanut sauce recipes.

1/2 tsp sambal ulek
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp shrimp paste (trasi)

2 TBS peanut oil

1/2 cp coconut milk
3 curry leaves
1 stalk lemon grass
2 tsp palm sugar (or dark brown sugar)


blend together the first four ingredients into a smooth paste
mix in the next four ingredients

heat oil and fry the paste until it turns brown
