1: MAKE RED OIL. In a pot, add 1 cup of neutral oil with 6 oz of annatto seeds. Cook and stir this so it does not burn.
2: As soon as the oil starts to bubble, turn off heat and strain. This will make 1 cup of red oil.
3: MAKE SPICY LEMONGRASS SATE: Add ½ cup of red oil and all of your other ingredients into a pot.
4: Cook this mixture for 30 minutes on a simmer until it slightly thickens up.
5: If it dries out, add some more oil but no more than ¼ cup.
