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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of peppers to create a complex flavor profile. For a milder sauce, use more sweet peppers and fewer hot peppers. For a spicier sauce, use more hot peppers and fewer sweet peppers.
  • Toast the peanuts before using them to bring out their flavor. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
  • Use a high-quality peanut butter. Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or salt.
  • Add a little bit of acidity to the sauce to balance out the sweetness. This could be in the form of lime juice, lemon juice, or rice vinegar.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sauce. The peanuts should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.

Conclusion:

This spicy peanut sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for dipping vegetables, chicken, or shrimp. It can also be used as a marinade or sauce for stir-fries. Once you've tried this sauce, you'll be hooked!
