The strange properties of the nucleon are investigated within the framework of the SU(3) chiral quark-soliton model assuming isospin symmetry and applying symmetry-conserving SU(3) quantization. We present the form factors $G_{E,M}^0{(Q}^2{),G}_M^Z{(Q}^2)$ and the electric and magnetic strange form factors $G_{E,M}^{\mathrm{s}}{(Q}^2)$ incorporating pion and kaon asymptotics. The results show a fairly good agreement with the recent experimental data from the SAMPLE and HAPPEX collaborations. We also present predictions for future measurements including the A4 experiment at MAMI (Mainz).
