Notes
- To store Indonesian Pork Satay, place the cooked skewers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the satay for up to 2 months; just wrap each skewer in foil before freezing.
- To reheat the satay, thaw overnight in the refrigerator if frozen, then warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or reheat on a grill for a few minutes per side until heated through.
- The peanut sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week in an airtight container. If you want to store it longer, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. To use after freezing, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and whisk well before serving. If the sauce thickens too much, you can stir in a little warm water or coconut milk to reach the desired consistency.
