Nothing beats a good burger for dinner. And with comfort food on the menu lately, these burgers were a must. The satay sauce makes a HEAP and I wasnt really thinking so straight, so it didnt occur to me to put it in a container. But its a tasty difference on a traditional burger. I quite liked these, went down well and as far as I am concerned, satay anything is good!

That looks delicious! I sometimes swap the chicken for tofu and the satay sauce is quite flavoursome so it helps with the lack of flavour in plain tofu
