Authentic Thai Peanut Sauce Recipe for Delicious Dishes

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, as per preference)
  • 1 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (minced)
  • 1 cup coconut milk (for creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, add peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic, and ginger.

    Use a whisk for a smooth mixture.
  2. Mix Well

    Stir the ingredients together until they are well combined and smooth.

    If the mixture is too thick, add coconut milk gradually.
  3. Adjust Consistency

    Check the consistency and adjust with more coconut milk if necessary.

    It should be pourable but not too runny.
  4. Add Heat

    If desired, mix in red pepper flakes for extra heat.

    Start with a small amount and taste before adding more.
  5. Serve or Store

    Use the sauce immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

    Stir again before serving as it may thicken when chilled.
