Sate maranggi is an authentic Indonesian food commonly found in West Java,
especially Purwakarta. Maranggi satay is a typical Sundanese food. Maranggi satay hawkers can be found where some peddled by
going around. What distinguishes Satay Maranggi from other satays is the
process of soaking the meat in seasoning ( marination ), before it is made into
satay and cooked. Because of this seasoning process, the Maranggi Satay is
served without companion sauce. The marinade itself is made from a mixture of
sweet soy sauce and several types of spices, such as ginger, coriander,
galangal, turmeric, with a little vinegar to give a little sour taste, can be
used vinegar lahang (vinegar made from sugar palm ), as well as other types of
vinegar.
In addition to white rice, Maranggi Satay can also be served
with rice cake, grilled sticky rice plus oncom sauce , or with lead rice .
