Question: Why do we eat satay with the cucumber and nasi impit?
The answer: The rice or nasi impit eaten with satay is just to provide some carbohydrate to the meal but the cucumber serves a more important role in the meal. As you all know, when carbon got mixed with organic material, they form a chemical reaction which produces carcinogen and again as you all know that carcinogen is a major cause for cancer. So eating cucumber reverses the effect of carcinogen and thus pervents us foom getting Cancer. Plus, its also a good source of antioxidant which helps you stay young! According to the book Tibb An-Nabawi (The Medicine of the Prophet) by Al-Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Jauziyah, there are 4 classification of food that we eat. Hot, Cold, Wet and Dry. Meat is classified as a type of food that is hot and dry. To counter these effects, it has to be eaten with something cold and wet. Cucumber is cold and wet thus making it a perfect match for satay meat. So, remember to eat your cucumber when you eat your satay!
