Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat and stir-fry the ground paste for 3 to 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
3. When cooled, mix the Spice Paste with the ground chicken or duck and all the other ingredients, except the skewers, until well blended. Set aside to marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
4. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 4 hours before using. Mold about 2 heaped tablespoons of the meat mixture onto each lemongrass or bamboo skewer with your hands and press it together firmly to form a kebab. Repeat until all the meat mixture is used up.
5. Grill the skewers over hot charcoal or under a preheated broiler for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, basting with the marinade, until cooked. Turn the skewers frequently to prevent the meat from burning. Arrange the satay on a serving platter and serve hot with the Ketchup Sauce.
