  • For the marinade

  • 2 T grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 T ketjap manis or thick sweet soy sauce
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • For the satay sauce

  • 2 T tomato purée
  • 4/5 cup water
  • 1 x 2 cm piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 T sambal oelek or chilli paste
  • 1 T sugar
  • 5 pieces preserved ginger (retain the syrup)
