Ingredients
- ½ c coconut milk
- ¼ c smooth peanut butter unsalted
- 2 tbsp red curry paste
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- ½ tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp palm sugar
- 1 tsp grated garlic
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- ¼ tsp fish sauce
Instructions
- In a sauce pot over medium heat, warm and stir the ½ c coconut milk for one minute bringing it to a light simmer (but not boil).
- Add the remaining ingredients: 2 tbsp red curry paste, ¼ c smooth peanut butter, 1 tbsp fresh lime juice, ½ tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp grated garlic, 1 tbsp palm sugar, 1 tsp grated ginger, and ¼ tsp fish sauce. Whisk until fully incorporated.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes or thickened to pudding texture. Note that it will thicken after cooling, so don’t cook the sauce down any longer than 5 minutes.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the ingredients if necessary. The sauce should be very savory, slightly sweet, and very flavorful, so it pairs well with any skewered meat or even raw veggies. It should taste almost too potent to eat by itself.
