This is a delicious blend of spices that go well with any meats or vegetables.
When using with meat, I like to add a little bicarbonate of soda to the mix when marinating. This helps to break down the fibres in the meat and make it more tender. It’s the Chinese Restaurant trick!
I particularly like this blend with thin strips of lamb, skewered, then grilled. And the best sauce to serve is the one from Cookidoo – Easy Satay Chicken.
