Coconut milk is great! Once you open the can, freeze the leftover in an ice cube tray. Save cubes in a zip top plastic bag in the freezer. Use cubes in smoothees with fruits or other recipes calling for coconut milk such as a winter squash curry bisque.
I made this and found the peanut sauce especially delicious. I added a couple dashes of Penzey's Sate seasoning to the sauce the chicken is microwaved in, but didn't feel that the chicken has much flavor with just that sauce. I think perhaps a touch of cornstarch or other thickener might make that sauce adhere more, and I'd make it again with more Sate powder for more flavor. Make extra peanut sauce to add to vegetables and maybe some Asian noodles for a true Thai flavor.
That's about right, maybe a tiny bit high. The nutritional info is for the entire recipe.
1/4 cup peanut butter: 400 cal
2 tbsp sesame oil: 240
3 tbs total honey: 180
Chicken: maybe 150?
soy sauce and sesame seeds:30-40
So that's about 1000.
Wasn’t brave enough to use pre-cooked chicken and throw in the microwave. Fried chicken breast strips with salt and pepper instead. The sauce was perfect
Might want to try replacing some or all of the sesame oil with tahini
I made it… the satay sauce was dark and not liquid. I used dark soy sauce, maybe that was the reason, and maybe I did not use enough milk. It tasted ok, just didn’t look right.
