SPICY THAI PEANUT SAUCE

Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce image

This peanut sauce is very flavorful, with lemon, ginger, and quite a bit of heat. It's good with satays, stir-frys, rice bowls, or good as a dip. Don't be afraid to add more or less of the spices, just add to taste! Store in the fridge up to one week.

SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Spicy Peanut Sauce image

One of the best recipes for peanut sauce I have tried! This goes great with grilled meats, especially on grilled chicken skewers, on noodles, even used as a salad dressing for spinach salad!. You won't be able to keep your spoon out of the jar, it is that good LOL! This peanut sauce is of a thinner consistency, if you want a thicker sauce, then add in more peanut butter and reduce the water just slightly. This can be made up to 3 days in advance. Kikkoman Thai-Style chili sauce can be found in any Asian section of major grocery stores, I purchase mine at Safeway stores in the Asian section, but you can use any brand of Thai chili sauce for this. You can use about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon (or to taste) red pepper flakes in place of the chili sauce. This recipe may be cut in half to make 2 cups.

Ingredients

3 -5 tablespoons vegetable oil (do not use olive oil for this)
5 scallions, chopped very fine
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated
2 cups water
1 cup peanut butter (can add in more to make a thicker sauce)

Add/stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer, stirring.
Simmer the sauce until smooth, then cool to room temperature.

This sauce is best served at room temperature.
