1. 1

   Cut the chicken breast into cubes of about 2 by 2 cm and put them in a bowl.Mix the ketjap manis, garlic, sambal, turmeric, ground coriander and oil into the chicken in the bowl. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes — longer is fine.Thread the chicken cubes onto the wooden skewers, about 4 to 5 pieces per skewer.Cook the rice according to the package instructions until tender and keep warm.Make the peanut sauce: put the peanut butter, coconut milk, ketjap manis, sambal, lime juice and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat and stir until smooth. Add some water if the sauce becomes too thick.Heat the frying pan over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Fry the satay skewers in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Turn them regularly.Serve the satay skewers on a plate with rice, a generous drizzle of peanut sauce and optionally some cucumber and atjar. Garnish with chopped fresh coriander or spring onion.
