Preparation

Marinating the Chicken Satay

Mix Marinade

In a bowl, mix coconut milk, soy sauce, and peanut butter.

Coat Chicken

Add the chicken strips, ensuring they're well coated.

Skewering the chicken before cooking helps maintain its shape and ensures even cooking.

Rinse Rice

Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

Keep an eye on the porridge to prevent burning.

Cooking Process

Grilling the Satay

Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers and grill until cooked through, about 8 minutes, turning occasionally.

Preparing the Porridge

Simmer the porridge, stirring occasionally until the rice is tender and thickened, about 40 minutes.

Spoon the porridge into bowls, top with grilled chicken satay, garnish, and drizzle with sauces.
