7 ounces boneless chicken breasts, cut into 4-inch strips
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine or sherry
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 cup peanuts, raw and unsalted
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon chile paste
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1
Soak 12 wooden skewers, approximately 7 inches in length, in warm water for 30 minutes.

Cut the chicken into 4-inch long strips.
3
Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl.

Prepare the satay dip by crushing the peanuts using a mortar and pestle (or put them in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin).
