Thai peanut sauce
Thai peanut sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment commonly used in Thai cuisine. It is made from a combination of roasted peanuts, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and various spices. The sauce is creamy, savory, slightly sweet, and has a hint of spiciness. It is often used as a dipping sauce for satay skewers, drizzled over noodles or stir-fries, or as a dressing for salads.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Water (as needed for consistency)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, honey or brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
- If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add more soy sauce for saltiness, lime juice for tanginess, honey or sugar for sweetness, or red pepper flakes for spiciness.
- Serve the Thai peanut sauce as a dip for satay skewers, drizzle over noodles or stir-fries, or use as a dressing for salads.
- Enjoy!
