Satay

Satay (/ˈsɑːteɪ/ SAH-tay, in USA also /sɑːˈteɪ/ sah-TAY, /sæˈteɪ/ sa-TAY), or sate in Indonesian spelling, is a Southeast Asian form of kebab made from seasoned, skewered and barbecued meat, served with a sauce.

The earliest preparations of satay are believed to have originated in Java island, but has spread to almost anywhere in Indonesia, where it has become a national dish.

Indonesian satay is often served with peanut sauce, and is often accompanied with lontong, a type of rice cake, though the diversity of the country has produced a wide variety of satay recipes. It is also popular in many other Southeast Asian countries including Brunei, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. It is also recognized and popular in Suriname and the Netherlands. In Sri Lanka, it has become a staple of the local diet as a result of the influences from the local Malay community.

Satay may consist of diced or sliced chicken, goat, mutton, beef, pork, fish, other meats, or tofu; bamboo skewers are often used, while rustic style of preparations employ skewers from the midrib of the coconut palm frond. These are grilled or barbecued over a wood or charcoal fire, then served with various spicy seasonings. Satay can be served in various sauces; however, most often they are served in a combination of soy and peanut sauce. Hence, peanut sauce is often called satay sauce. It is popular as street food, and it can be obtained from a travelling satay vendor, from a street-side tent-restaurant, in an upper-class restaurant, or at traditional celebration feasts.

沙爹（/ˈsɑːteɪ/ SAH-tay，在美国也可发音为/sɑːˈteɪ/ sah-TAY，/sæˈteɪ/ sa-TAY），印尼拼写为sate，是一种来自东南亚的串烧肉类的形式，用调味料腌制，串在竹签上，然后进行烧烤，配以酱汁。

最早的沙爹准备工作据信起源于爪哇岛，但已传播到印度尼西亚的几乎每个地方，成为该国的一道国菜。

印尼的沙爹通常搭配花生酱，经常搭配一种叫做lontong的米糕，尽管该国的多样性产生了各种各样的沙爹食谱。它在包括文莱、马来西亚、菲律宾、新加坡和泰国在内的许多其他东南亚国家也很受欢迎。它在苏里南和荷兰也受到认可和喜爱。在斯里兰卡，由于受到当地马来社区的影响，它已成为当地饮食的基本组成部分。

沙爹可能由切块或切片的鸡肉、山羊肉、羊肉、牛肉、猪肉、鱼肉、其他肉类或豆腐制成；通常使用竹签，而传统风格的准备则使用椰子棕榈叶的中脉作为串烧工具。这些食材在木炭火上烤制，然后搭配各种辛辣的调味料。沙爹可以搭配各种酱汁食用；然而，它们大多数时候搭配酱油和花生酱的混合物。因此，花生酱通常被称为沙爹酱。它在街头很受欢迎，并且可以从流动的沙爹小贩、街边帐篷餐厅、高档餐厅或传统的庆祝宴会中获得。
