Homemade Peanut Sauce Recipe
Description
The Homemade Peanut Sauce recipe brings together creamy peanut butter with flavorful additions like finely grated ginger and garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, and palm sugar. Coconut milk is gradually incorporated to smooth and lighten the mixture, resulting in a creamy and balanced sauce with a nuanced flavor profile combining sweet, tangy, spicy, and savory notes.
The sauce can be whisked together easily and stored in the refrigerator for use within a week. Its creamy texture and versatile flavor make it suitable for use as a dip, salad dressing, noodle sauce, or accompaniment to grilled meats and vegetables. Adjusting the amount of chili garlic sauce allows control over the heat level.
Using canned full-fat coconut milk contributes to a richer consistency due to its higher fat content compared to bottled milk. Chunky peanut butter may be used if a textured sauce is preferred. Making the sauce a few days in advance allows flavors to meld effectively.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- lime juice of 1
- 2 tablespoons Chili garlic sauce
- 2 garlic finely grated
- 1 ginger chunk of finely grated
- 2 tablespoons palm sugar
- 2 teaspoons coconut vinegar or rice wine vinegar
- 15 ounce coconut milk can, full-fat
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients except for the coconut milk to a large bowl.
- Gently whisk everything together until combined. This peanut butter will tighten up a little bit.
- Slowly add in the coconut milk a ½ cup at a time and gently whisk it in until the sauce is smooth and combined. I usually only use about ½ of the coconut fat that’s at the top of the can.
- Store covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Notes
- This sauce can be prepared up to three days in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to seven days.
- For a smoother sauce, use creamy peanut butter, but chunky peanut butter may be used to add texture.
- Use canned full-fat coconut milk to maximize fat content and flavor; bottled coconut milk can be substituted if needed.
