Satay

Satay delivers the most perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and savory of any skewered meat in Southeast Asia. Marinated in turmeric and lemongrass, grilled over charcoal, and served with ketupat rice cakes and a rich peanut sauce, each skewer contains roughly 80 calories for a chicken portion. The satay kajang from Haji Samuri in Kajang, Selangor, outperforms #5 Nasi Kandar in depth of flavor due to its 30-minute marination process, which is 50% longer than the average street vendor's.
