Thai Peanut Sauce - Satay

Updated: Jan 21, 2021

We started on a Thailand cuisine journey and this is my second Thai influenced post. This sauce traditionally goes with chicken satay as a dipping sauce but trust when I say this should not just be limited to chicken satay or just Thai food.

This is a surprisingly versatile dipping sauce and my kids went bonkers using the sauce as “dip dip,” as my son likes to say, for carrots and other veggies.

Instructions

Step 1: combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until sauce is smooth.
