Homemade Chicken Satay With Quinoa

I love chicken satay

But I admit, I rarely make it at home. In Holland, it was quite common to eat chicken satay or even with some french fries, so good! I used to be lazy though, and buy the satay sauce at a snack corner or in the supermarket. I rarely took the time to make it myself. I almost forgot about this dinner in May, still in Budapest. I was going through my folders and found this folder, but not in the used pictures folder, so I wondered if I even shared it at the time. The folder was from May 10, 2022, therefore, I went back in my posts and to my surprise, I didn't share these images yet. I even used Google to double-check it. The last month before emigration was super hectic so I'm not surprised if more folders pop up with content I forgot to share. I remember this was one hell of a meal and we were bummed that we didn't have more chicken as our daughter also liked the chicken satay.

Last bit of peanut butter

And was trying to empty our cupboards by making sure most items were used and not gone to waste. Peanut butter was one of them and I decided this was the perfect time to make some chicken satay. I ordered some vegetables at the supermarket that I loved ordering from, but this time I just ordered some green healthy looking stuff that I had never eaten before. I don't even remember the name of these things, what I do remember is that we both didn't like them much. It was a one-time thing. Quinoa together with chicken and satay sauce works perfectly fine though, it made up for the lesser green part of the meal, and thankfully, we had some cucumber as well!

I need some more practice

Making satay sauce as I remember it was a bit too thick and my boyfriend said I could have added WAY more milk. I was trying not to ruin it but apparently, I was too careful adding milk. It's fine though as it still tasted good. Besides milk and peanut butter, I added a bit of garlic powder and Maggi. That's all I think. It's funny that I bumped on these pictures today because I have bought peanut butter last week to try this again and see if I can improve my satay sauce-making skills! This time I also bought some fried onions as that's a great combo if you ask me.

Do you like satay sauce?

Do you ever make it yourself? Any secret ingredient you wish to share? I know often sambal is added but we won't do that here as it will trigger my boyfriend's stomach too much. He likes spicy but it's rarely a good idea for him to eat spicy food therefore we just don't prep it to avoid the trouble. I'm a bit bummed that I don't have Maggi here yet, I know where I can buy it but that means I need to order it online, I will probably do that before I prep a new chicken satay!

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely evening!
