📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Sate Padang is the style of satay from Padang in Sumatra. Beef or offal is grilled over charcoal and then smothered in a thick yellow sauce of turmeric and spices thickened with rice flour. It's a world apart from the peanut-sauce satay of other regions, with the spicy richness typical of Padang food.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At the stall, fragrant smoke rises from skewers over the coals, and the sauce is poured on as you order.
