Instructions

  1. Melt the coconut oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until it is soft and translucent. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  2. Add the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, red curry paste, and if using the sugar. Let the sauce cook for 1 minute, or until it has thickened. If it thickens too much add a splash of water or extra coconut milk.
  3. Optional Step: if you'd like a velvety satay sauce, blend it until smooth.

Notes

  • For this recipe, we use natural peanut butter which contains only peanuts and salt as it has the strongest peanut flavor and blends nicely into the sauce. If you only have conventional peanut butter, know that the sauce won't have as much peanut flavor. Also, as conventional peanut butter is sweetened, you likely won't want to add any extra sugar.
