What can you use Peanut Sauce for?
Up until a few years ago, I really didn’t have much experience with Thai food. After discovering an amazing Thai restaurant right near my house, however, I am not sure how I ever survived without some of these delicious flavors!

The thing I love most about this Thai peanut sauce recipe is that it can be used to grill chicken, pour over salads, as a dip, or as a sauce for your favorite noodle dish.
It takes only a few simple ingredients to make and absolutely zero cooking. If you enjoy the flavor of Thai peanut sauce, this recipe was a huge hit at dinner tonight!
*NOTE: If you want to use this Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce as a salad dressing, add a small amount of water until you reach the desired consistency.

This sounds delicious. I love peanut sauce. It goes really well on so many different things.
I absolutely love going to Thai restaurants but have no experience cooking it at home. I love the curry, peanut sauce and coconut milk that is often used in Thai cooking. This is a recipe I know my family will enjoy. I’ll be trying it for sure.
I love Satay and this looks delicious. This looks easy to do. I will save this for later.
I’ve made a peanut sauce before for a Thai dish. It was very popular. I’ll have to try your recipe!
Made this last night and it was FANTASTIC! I added a little garlic and ginger honey and a little more siracha and peanut butter. I used the sauce over a rice noodle bowl. Saute matchstick carrots, julianned red pepper and cut up chicken breast. Boil Rice Noodles & Drain (do not rinse). Then stir all ingredients together! I like Annie Chuns brand of rice noodle- thinner than the Thai Kitchen brand.
Really glad you enjoyed it! We make it regularly!
Delicious & easy! Will definitely make again.
so glad you enjoyed it!
