Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sunflower seed butter
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Red curry paste
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sunflower seed butter, soy sauce, and coconut milk over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sunflower seed butter is fully incorporated and a smooth consistency is achieved.
Add the lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red curry paste to the saucepan. Continue to stir until the ingredients are well-mixed.
Pour in the water and add the salt, stirring occasionally. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired thickness is reached.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you want a bit of heat, add the optional chili flakes and mix well.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Serve the nut-free satay sauce with grilled meats, vegetables, or as a dipping sauce for appetizers. Enjoy!
