Don’t eat it all in one sitting

I have a love relationship with peanut sauce. Not a love/hate relationship, even though I could eat a whole bowl of the stuff and that I should hate.

Seriously, I could eat it all.

Would I get sick of it before I got to the bottom of the bowl? No. I really don’t think so. I’d love to try, but I’m thinking that would be a bad idea for my thighs.

And even though I could easily eat the whole bowl, I imagine Christopher standing next to the bare chicken satay and saying, “Doesn’t chicken satay come with peanut sauce?”

And if I opened my my mouth to answer him, I’m afraid I’d have sauce covered teeth.

Helpful tips

• I’m assuming you will make chicken satay when you make this sauce. So that means you will make the marinade at the same time.
• I mention this because you are going to use 1/4 cup of the marinade in this sauce.
• If you reheat this sauce, do NOT heat it in a microwave, instead heat it on the stove on medium low heat.

Yum.

Can’t you just picture picking up a spoonful and shoving it into your mouth?

Would you just look at that chicken satay behind it, and the Thai cucumber salad? Christopher and I are going to eat like royalty!

This Thai peanut sauce will not disappoint and I hope you enjoyed this recipe.

Christopher thinks it’s better than the peanut sauce you get in restaurants.

One note of caution: do NOT reheat this sauce in the microwave. Heat it on the stove.

The end.

Notes

Since this peanut sauce usually goes with chicken satay, make the marinade, take out 1/4 cup for the sauce and marinate the chicken tenders in the rest.

Helpful tips

• I’m assuming you will make chicken satay when you make this sauce. So that means you will make the marinade at the same time.
• I mention this because when you make the marinade make sure you set aside 1/4 cup for this sauce.
• If you reheat this sauce, do NOT heat it in a microwave, instead heat it on the stove on medium low heat.
