Satay chicken skewers


I rarely eat Thai food as I find it high in salt ,my favorite dishes are shrimp Phad Thai and chicken Satay skewers.I am still in the process of improving my Thai cooking skills so I can prepare low salt and healthy thai dishes.

Salt is not only available in the form of table salt but it is present in soy sauce,packaged foods,pickles and in a lot of Asian dressings and sauces. Monitor your sodium intake as more than 2.4g /day might lead to hypertension.

MSG or monosodium glutamate is a flavor enhancer present in indian and asian dishes as well as packaged foods. It can cause migraine ,allergies and cancer.Check your ingredients before eating as MSG might be present in foods you are consuming daily.
