Thai Peanut Sauce

Print this Recipe

THAILAND
Makes about 1 cup

Peanut sauce is the traditional accompaniment to Southeast Asian satés. There are probably as many individual recipes as there are street vendors. You might find this version-enriched with coconut milk-at a Thai saté stall.


   2 teaspoons ginger, minced fresh
   1 to 2 serrano chile, , Thai or jalapeno chiles, seeded and minced (for a spicier sauce, leave the seeds in)
   1 clove garlic, minced
   2 scallion, both white and green parts, trimmed and minced
   1/3 cup chunky peanut butter
   1/3 cup coconut milk, canned or homemade, or more as needed
   2 tablespoons asain fish sauce, or soy sauce, or more to taste
   1 tablespoon lime juice, fresh, or more to taste
   2 teaspoons sugar, or more to taste
   1/4 cup cilantro, chopped fresh (optional)


1. Combine the ginger, chile, garlic, scallions, peanut butter, 1/3 cup coconut milk, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 teaspoons sugar, and the cilantro (if using) in a small, heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring well to mix, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until richly flavored, about 10 minutes. The sauce should be thick but pourable; thin with coconut milk, if needed.

2. Remove from the heat and taste for seasoning, adding fish sauce, lime juice, or sugar as necessary; the sauce should be highly seasoned. Serve warm or at room temperature. The sauce will keep, tightly covered in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.
