bumbu kacang: Indonesian Peanut Satay

This is by far my favourite street food in Jakarta. You can purchase ten sticks dripping in peanut sauce for less than a dollar, and they even come with a tasty rice-based side dish called lontong (see Mega’s recipe in the comments below!).

For me, the key to a great satay (and what often separates the masters from the rest) is the smoothness of the sauce.
