As a Malaysian, this recipe brings back memories of street food at home! The peanut sauce is spot on. I used seitan for a chewier texture. Make sure to get nice char marks - that's where all the flavor comes from!
Made these for a summer BBQ and they were a hit! Even the meat-eaters were impressed. The peanut sauce alone is worth making. I doubled the sauce because people kept dunking everything in it!
Really delicious! Used a grill pan since I don't have a BBQ. The marinade is fantastic. I served with cucumber and rice cakes on the side for a complete meal.
