Chicken Satay

== Description ==
This is almost guaranteed to be the hit of any Indonesian cocktail party. I suggest preparing two to three skewers per person. You can make more if this is your only hors d'oeuvre. Try sprinkling toasted sesame seeds and/or sliced scallions over the chicken satay before serving. I like to make a few extra because these are even better the next day as a snack.

* Preparation time: 45 minutes
== Ingredients ==
* 16 skewers, 5 to 7 inches
* 3 teaspoons tamari soy sauce
* 2 teaspoons rice wine (mirin)
* ½ teaspoon curry powder
* 1 teaspoon olive oil
* 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into sixteen 1-ounce strips
* freshly ground black pepper
* ground coriander
* pinch of sea salt
* ½ cup almond milk, or soy milk
* 1 tablespoon canned unsweetened coconut milk
* 1 tablespoon unsweetened peanut butter
* 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
* 1½ teaspoon arrowroot
* juice of ½ lime
* ½ teaspoon Thai chili paste, optional
* 1 tablespoon trimmed and thinly sliced scallions
== Directions ==
# If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak in water in advance so they won't burn. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of the tamari, the wine, curry powder and olive oil. Add the chicken and season with pepper and coriander to taste and a pinch of sea salt. Marinate for at least 1 hour.
# In a small pot over low heat, heat the almond milk for a minute. Whisk in the coconut milk, peanut butter, remaining 1 teaspoon tamari and maple syrup.
# Mix the arrowroot with 2 teaspoons of water in a separate bowl. Add the peanut sauce, just as it starts to simmer. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lime juice and chili paste, if desired. Cover and keep in a warm place until ready to serve. Mix in the scallions just before serving.
# Heat a nonstick grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Skewer the chicken pieces. Grill the chicken until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side; check to see if they are cooked by inserting a paring knife in the center of the thickest strip.
# Serve with the warm peanut sauce.
