Mussels Satay (Sate kerang)

Sate kerang is a traditional dish originating from Surabaya, East Java. The dish consists of marinated mussels that are placed on bamboo skewers and grilled to perfection. The marinade usually consists of shallots, garlic, candlenuts, turmeric, ginger, coriander, grated coconut, chili peppers, oil, lime leaves, lemongrass, brown sugar, sweet soy sauce, and salt.

About five or six mussels are then placed on bamboo skewers and grilled until golden brown. Once done, sate kerang is often served with spicy soy sauce on the side.
