Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili paste (adjust to taste)
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, and water over medium heat.
Stir continuously until the peanut butter has fully melded with the coconut milk, creating a smooth mixture.
Add lime juice, honey, fish sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili paste to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Allow the sauce to gently simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
Taste the sauce and add sea salt to flavor to your preferences.
Once all ingredients are well combined and the sauce has slightly thickened, remove from heat.
Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. If it becomes too thick as it cools, you can add a bit more water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve the satay sauce warm or at room temperature with your favorite grilled meats or as a dipping sauce.
