  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make a Thai-style peanut stir-fry sauce. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your own taste. For example, if you like it spicy, add more chili peppers. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add more brown sugar.
  • Use a high-quality peanut butter: The peanut butter is the key ingredient in this sauce, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or oils.
