Although I'm not a Thai cuisine expert, I offer the Thai Chicken Satay recipe
that has served my appetite well, over and over.

---
Title:* Thai Chicken Or Pork Satay *
Yield: 4 Servings

/*Ingredients*/

1 tb yellow curry paste; (Thai)
1 ts turmeric
1 tb palm sugar or brown sugar
2 tb Thai fish sauce; (nam pla)
2 tb lime juice
1 tb vegetable oil
1 lb boneless pork loin
cut into 3" x 1" x 1/4" strips
OR
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
cut into 3" x 1" x 1/4 strips
24 8 in" bamboo skewers soaked in water for
1 cn unsweetened coconut milk

*/Instructions/*

Combine yellow curry paste, turmeric, palm sugar, fish sauce, lime juice and
oil. Toss meat strips with marinade and marinate for minimum of 2 hours in
refrigerator or better overnight.

Thread individual meat strips onto the skewers, weaving in-and-out, in a
ribbon fashion. Make meat strips lay flat on skewer.

Prepare grill. Medium hot coals. Brush strips with thick coconut cream (see
below). Place (brushed side down) over hot coals for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn
over, brush with coconut cream and grill until cooked. Do not overcook the
meat it will dry out.

Serve with Spicy Peanut Sauce.

TO PREPARE COCONUT CREAM: Pour 1 can unsweetened coconut milk into a tall
glass. Allow to sit for at least 1 hour so the thick cream rises to the top.
Skim off top (cream) and set aside. The rest is thin coconut milk (toss or
add a drip o' rum and drink --Andy).

Andy's notes:

Double's up on the Thai yellow curry paste.

Make that a GENEROUS ts. of turmeric.

Substitutes chicken tenders when available.

Always best to marinate overnight, imho. It smells putrid but bbq's up
delicious!

Wear latex gloves for skewer assembly if you don't want yellow fingers
(turmeric)

Double's up two chicken strips per skewer for convenience.

Keep basting with coconut cream!!!

Yup, that is a great rec. I was going to say the same thing.
A couple other good sites are...

http://www.thailandlife.com/thailand...ipes/index.php
http://importfood.com/recipes.html

The latter is a commercial site that sells stuff, but you don't need to
register or anything to view their recipes. No affiliation. I hate
spam, but it really is a decent site.
