Satay

Satay is a yummy food on a stick! It's kind of like a kebab or a skewer, but it's usually made with meat that's been cut up into small pieces and then put onto a stick. You can also use vegetables like peppers or onions if you don't want to eat meat.

Satay is usually marinated before it gets put on the stick, which means it gets soaked in a tasty sauce to make it extra flavorful. This sauce can be made from lots of different ingredients, but it often has things like peanuts, soy sauce, and spices in it.

Once the satay is ready, it gets grilled over a hot fire or cooked on a griddle. This makes it crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Some people like to dip their satay in even more sauce before they eat it, and it's usually served with rice or noodles on the side.

Satay is a popular food in lots of countries, including Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. People love it because it's easy to eat, it's full of flavor, and it's a fun way to enjoy meat or veggies on a stick.
