Cooking on the Barbecue

Grilling (yarng) food over glowing coals is very popular. It is widely used by street vendors who cook skewered snacks such as satay or barbecue-cooked chicken (kai yang) or seafood over small open braziers.

1. When using charcoal, light the coals and wait until they are covered with a thin layer of white or pale grey ash before starting to cook. Place the skewers, meat, poultry, fish or shellfish on a rack over the coals and grill, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.

   

2. If you do not have time to set up a barbecue, cook the food under a preheated grill (broiler).
