BEST EVER THAI PEANUT SAUCE RECIPE

CHICKEN SATAY WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the peanut sauce, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce and ginger in a small bowl. Whisk in 2-3 tablespoons water until desired consistency is reached; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, curry powder, turmeric, garlic, ginger, brown sugar and fish sauce. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken and coconut milk mixture; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade. Preheat grill to medium high heat. Thread chicken onto skewers. Brush with canola oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add skewers to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 12-15 minutes. Serve immediately with peanut sauce.

THE BEST THAI CURRY-PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until the aroma of the garlic has mellowed, about 1 minute. Add the red curry paste, and stir for 1 minute more. Whisk in the peanut butter, brown sugar, chili powder, cayenne pepper, fish sauce, sesame oil, and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and is smooth.

5-INGREDIENT PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• To a medium mixing bowl add (starting with the amount at the lower end of the measurement range where applicable) peanut butter, tamari (or soy sauce or coconut aminos), maple syrup, lime juice, chili sauce (or chili or red pepper), and whisk to combine. Add water a little at a time until a thick but pourable sauce is achieved.
• Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more maple syrup for sweetness, chili garlic sauce (or red chili or red pepper) for heat, lime juice for acidity, or tamari for saltiness. If your sauce has become too thin, add more nut butter. If it's too thick, thin with more water. For a fun flavor twist, add some fresh grated ginger to taste.
• Perfect for salads, spring rolls, noodle dishes, and more! Pairings linked above. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 1 week.

Steps:

• In a small pan over medium heat, add turmeric powder, chili powder, ground cumin and coriander seeds. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

AUTHENTIC THAI PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Put everything into a medium heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a very gentle boil over medium heat, whisking constantly.
• Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes over low heat, being careful not to let the mixture scorch on the bottom of the pot.
• Remove from heat, mix in chopped peanuts if using, and serve immediately with satay, spring rolls or fried tofu.
• The sauce can be stored in the refridgerator for weeks. It will thicken up, so feel free to mix in a little water when reheating to get the desired consistency.
