Reference figures for a dish as it is commonly cooked — never a measurement of your plate. The range is the honest part: two kitchens make this differently. In the app, a photograph replaces the guess.

Method

7 steps

chop · 6m
Chicken into strips along the grain, so they hold on the skewer.
fold · 4m
Marinated in half the coconut milk with the spices.
rest · 1 hour walk away
An hour in the fridge, or overnight if you thought ahead.
soak · 30m walk away
Skewers under water while that happens, so they char instead of catching fire.
simmer · 8m
Peanut butter, the rest of the coconut milk, garlic, chilli and kecap manis warmed into a sauce.
grill · 12m
Threaded on and grilled hot and close, turned often, basted with the marinade until the edges blacken.
finish · 2m
Lime squeezed over, sauce alongside rather than poured on.

Worth knowing

The bamboo skewers are soaked in water first so they char slowly rather than catching fire over the coals.
