Instructions

  • Make the simple syrup: Add water and sugar to a saucepan over medium heat. Once the sugar completely dissolves, your simple syrup is ready to use or store in a clean jar.
  • Make the pearls: In a separate saucepan, cook the tapioca pearls in boiling water for 5 to 8 minutes. Once cooked, remove the pearls from the hot water. Transfer them to a bowl of iced cold water for 2 minutes. Remove your boba from the water and mix it with half of the simple syrup.
  • Steep the tea leaves in boiled water for about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the tea leaves according to your desired strength.
  • Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
  • Marinate the chicken: Combine coconut milk, curry powder, sugar, fish sauce, and garlic powder in a bowl; add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes or until ready to cook.
  • Make the soup: Use a meat mallet or the bottom of a frying pan to bash the garlic, chili, and lemongrass so they burst open to release flavor. Then add into a pot. Add the ginger and broth. Bring to a simmer on high heat, cover, then reduce to medium and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Strain the broth, then return it to the same pot over low heat. Add onions and mushrooms, and simmer for 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, and simmer for 1 minute. Stir in sugar, chili paste, and fish sauce, and simmer for 1 minute. Add lime juice, then taste. Adjust the sweetness with sugar, the salt with fish sauce, and the acid with lime to your taste.
  • Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken skewers in hot oil until browned and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
  • Make the sauce: Bring all the ingredients for the sauce to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes. Whisk occasionally until fully combined.
  • Finish the boba tea: Pour the ice, simple syrup, tea, and milk into a glass. Add the tapioca pearls. Serve your bubble tea with a boba straw.
  • Serve the chicken satay with soup garnished with cilantro and bubble tea.
