LOW FAT PEANUT SAUCE



Low Fat Peanut Sauce image

I created this recipe as an answer to the high fat peanut sauces in restaurants and in most recipes. It is a touch sweeter than most, but I find the soy sauce and the cayenne dampens the sweetness considerably.

Provided by BelovedRooster

Categories     Sauces

Time 8m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup better n' Peanut butter low-fat peanut butter
1/2 cup hot water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon pureed ginger
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
5 scallions, sliced
5 sprigs fresh basil, chopped
1/2 teaspoon cayenne

Steps:

  • Mix peanut butter with hot water in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Add spices, soy sauce and cornstarch and whisk to remove any lumps.
  • Steam-fry veggies of choice, and add the peanut sauce when stirfry is half done.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until veggies are done and the sauce thickens.
  • Serve!

Tips:

  • Use low-fat peanut butter: This is the key to making this sauce low in fat. Look for a peanut butter that is made with only peanuts and salt, and that has no added sugar or oil.
  • Use vegetable broth instead of water: This will add more flavor to the sauce. You can also use chicken or beef broth, but vegetable broth is the best option for a low-fat sauce.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy food, you can add some chili powder or cayenne pepper to the sauce. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Add some sweetness: If you find the sauce is too tart, you can add some honey or maple syrup to sweeten it up. Again, start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite foods: This sauce is great on chicken, tofu, vegetables, and even noodles. It's also a great dipping sauce for spring rolls or chicken satay.

This low-fat peanut sauce is a delicious and healthy way to add flavor to your favorite dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful sauce, give this low-fat peanut sauce a try!
