Method
Blend the shallots, garlic, lemongrass, turmeric and ground coriander with two tablespoons of water into a smooth paste.
Toss the mushroom pieces with the spice paste, palm sugar, light soy sauce and one tablespoon of the vegetable oil until evenly coated.
Cover and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes so the mushrooms absorb the spice paste.
Thread the marinated mushroom pieces onto bamboo skewers.
Brush a griddle pan with the remaining vegetable oil and heat over high heat until shimmering.
Grill the skewers for three to four minutes on each side, turning once, until charred at the edges and tender.
Warm the ready-made satay peanut sauce in a small saucepan for 3 minutes.
Serve the skewers hot with the warmed peanut sauce and cucumber chunks alongside.
