2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • Use a good quality peanut butter. The peanut butter is the base of this sauce, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or salt.
  • Add some heat. If you like your sauce spicy, you can add some chili peppers or Sriracha sauce. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Use the sauce as a marinade. This sauce is great for marinating chicken, tofu, or vegetables. Just coat the food in the sauce and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

Conclusion:

Thai peanut sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used as a dipping sauce, marinade, or stir-fry sauce. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
