Michael Caines has marinated juicy chicken skewers in a fragrant mix of lemongrass, turmeric and soy, then grilled them until lightly charred in this chicken satay recipe. Served with creamy peanut sauce, egg fried rice and a crisp, Thai-style salad tossed in a zingy dressing, this is a vibrant, feel-good dinner.
