作法
- 將紅蔥頭、蒜頭、薑黃、南薑與香茅加少許水打成細糊。
- 將糊與芫荽粉、孜然粉、茴香粉、棕櫚糖、鹽與油混合。徹底按摩入肉塊。冷藏至少4小時，理想隔夜。
- 做花生醬：以3大匙油炒醬料用紅蔥頭、蒜頭與辣椒5分鐘至軟。放涼後與花生、棕櫚糖、羅望子與水打成濃稠滑順醬汁。
- 倒入鍋中燉8分鐘並攪拌至濃稠、油浮現。醬應能附湯匙——太稠加水。放涼。
- 將醃肉串入泡過的竹籤，每串4-5塊緊密相靠。
- 炭火上每面烤2分鐘並刷醃料。邊緣應焦黑、肉應焦糖化——馬來沙嗲是強火烤，非溫柔烤。盛盤。配花生醬碗、生紅洋蔥片、小黃瓜與ketupat（壓緊飯糕）或白飯。

文化背景
沙嗲為馬來西亞、印尼與新加坡共有——各有自家傳統。馬來沙嗲較甜、薑黃味更重。雪蘭莪加影鎮以沙嗲首都聞名國際，主要街道上的攤販已燒烤數十年。牛肉沙嗲是馬來半島招牌；印尼較常用雞或羊。Ketupat——編織棕櫚葉飯糕——為傳統配料，將米壓成方塊狀。
