What's Cooking in Our Kitchen: Satay Babi Goreng サテーバビ・ゴレン

サテーバビ・ゴレン又はサテーバビも代表的なペラナカン料理。スライスした豚肉をレンパ(ピューレした香味野菜)をココナッツミルクで炒めたシンプルな料理。ちょっとドライなレッドカレーのようで、ご飯がバクバク進むが、バゲットやトーストの上にのせてもいいような気がする。謎だが、サテー(東南アジアの串焼き)という名がついているのだが、串焼きではない。何故だ?

Satay Babi Goreng or simply satay babi is a humble Peranakan dish consisting of sliced pork, rempah (a peranakan version of mirepoix), coconut milk which is stir fried. Very simple yet incredibly satisfying but, I always wonder why the dish is termed "satay" (babi is pork in malay), when it is not skewered like the usual satay (why not babi masak lemak? i.e. pork cooked in coconut milk) nor does it taste like the usual satay. I do own a quite an amount of Peranakan cooking book but none of them explains how this name came about. Anyone knows why it's called satay?
