PREPARATION IN ADVANCE

To prepare the vegetable pickle, add the rice vinegar, sugar and turmeric to 100 ml of water and bring to the boil. Remove the pan from the stove. Peel the carrot and cut the carrot and the white cabbage into thin strips. Stir the vegetable strips into the lukewarm sweet and sour liquid and leave to cool. Leave covered in the refrigerator for 1 day so that the sweet and sour flavour is properly absorbed.

To prepare the marinade, peel the garlic and chop finely. Mix together with the other marinade ingredients. To prepare the skewers, cut the chicken thigh fillets into cubes of approx. 3 cm and mix in the marinade. Thread the chicken thigh cubes onto 8 skewers and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for at least half a day.

PREPARATION

Ignite the charcoal in the Big Green Egg and heat, with the convEGGtor and the grid, to 140°C. While the temperature of the EGG is rising, place the Green Dutch Oven (round)  on the grid to heat it up.

Meanwhile, to prepare the peanut sauce, peel the garlic and finely chop the garlic and balls of stem ginger. Bruise the lemon grass and add all ingredients for the sauce to the Dutch oven with 100 ml of water. Stir thoroughly, close the lid of the EGG and leave the sauce to simmer for about 15 minutes; stirring from time to time.

Remove the sauce from the EGG, remove the lemon grass and place the lid on the pan. Remove the grid and the convEGGtor, place the Cast Iron Satay Grill in the EGG and heat the EGG to 180-200°C. Pre-heat the Cast Iron Satay Grill for 15 minutes. To prepare the garnish, slice the chilli pepper and spring onion into thin rings and set to one side.

Brush the Cast Iron Satay Grill with olive oil. Place the skewers on the grill and grill them for about 8 minutes, turning approximately every 2 minutes. Close the lid of the EGG after each action.

Remove the chicken satay from the EGG and place the satay on one or more plates. Brush with warm peanut sauce. Garnish each skewer with some seaweed crisps, bean sprouts and the chilli pepper and spring onion rings. Serve with the vegetable pickle and the rest of the sauce and crisps.
