Thai Peanut Sauce Recipe (2024)

FAQs

What is Thai peanut sauce made of? ›

Mix together peanut butter, coconut milk, water, lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, hot sauce, ginger, and garlic in a medium serving bowl until well combined. Stir in cilantro just before serving.

If your sauce has become too thin, add more nut butter. If it's too thick, thin with more water. For a fun flavor twist, add some fresh grated ginger to taste. Perfect for salads, spring rolls, noodle dishes, and more!

Simply keep it in a cool, dark place. Generally, an unopened bottle of peanut sauce will last about a year if it's stored correctly. While it's a good idea to keep the “use by” date in mind, it's usually just fine for a few months after that date. Once the bottle is opened, you'll need to keep it in the refrigerator.

Broccoli: Thai peanut sauce can add spice to your favorite green vegetable, and broccoli could always use a bit of flavor. If you're a bigger fan of cauliflower, either veggie will taste just as good. Cucumbers: Slice a cucumber into spears or chips, and you'll have an excellent dipping vegetable for peanut sauce.

The sauce traditionally served with Thai satay is a spicy peanut sauce and coconut milk, flavoured with Thai red curry paste. I call this a peanut sauce, but really it should be called satay sauce because it is a sauce that is ONLY served with satay.

Satay is also served with dipping sauce to complement the meat. In Indonesian chicken satay recipes and Thai chicken skewers, the sauce is typically made with peanut butter, sugar (I use honey), and spices. It's sweet, spicy, nutty, and absolutely delicious.

This happens when there's too much fat or liquid in the mixture. This can happen when there are not enough emulsifiers (which help keep your ingredients together). Sauces are usually made from multiple ingredients that include both oil and water. Oils and water will naturally separate.

If you add all the liquids and a big solid lump of peanut butter, you'll have a tough time getting it all smooth, as stirring the (thin) liquid parts won't affect the (solid) peanut butter lumps, and the lumps (once they're small enough) will just swim around your spoon and not break down further.

You can reduce the sweetness by diluting it with more peanut butter, or with tahini. Adding sliced green onions, as part of the sauce or as a garnish, will also help balance the sweetness, as will an acidic component like vinegar or lemon juice.

Is there sugar in Thai peanut sauce? ›

Thai Style Peanut Sauce blends premium roasted peanuts with traditionally brewed soy sauce, sugar, wine, honey, miso, sesame oil, and a mix of seasonings and spices.

In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, ginger, sesame oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Season to taste with salt and pepper (I like 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper). If the dressing is too thick, thin with water, 1 teaspoon at a time.

It's so good that you can put it on anything you like, but FYI, in Thailand, this peanut sauce is only used on satays. No, Thai people do not put peanut sauce on everything despite what you might have been led to believe!

It's salty, sweet, acidic and bold — a sauce like no other. For the uninitiated, Asian peanut sauce is a puree of peanuts, soy sauce, ginger, sesame, spices and often garlic, lemongrass and lime.

Traditional pad thai sauce includes fish sauce, vinegar, sugar and tamarind paste. Tamarind paste is not easily found at a regular grocery stores so I substituted rice vinegar. If you would like to use tamarind paste, substitute about 2 Tablespoons in place of the rice vinegar in this recipe.

HOUSE OF TSANG^® Bangkok Peanut Sauce is nutty and mild, with garlic, ginger, and lemongrass. But don't let the name fool you: our Thai peanut sauce is more than just for Thai food! Use it on chicken wings or as a marinade when you're cooking on the grill for extra nutty flavor.

In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, lime juice, rice vinegar, sriracha, tamari, sesame oil, maple syrup, ginger, and 4 tablespoons of the water. If the sauce is too thick, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
