Remain to ingest a spicy sauce (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satay

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'spicy sauce' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'remain to ingest a' is the wordplay.
'remain' becomes 'stay' (synonyms).
'to ingest' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are ingested or eaten).
'stay' going around 'a' is 'SATAY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for satay that I've seen before include "Barbecued food" , "spicy dish" , "Malaysian or Indonesian dish of grilled food with peanut sauce" , "spicy sort of meat" , "Malayan dish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
