This is a Thai dipping sauce for Chicken or Pork Satay. The recipe comes from "ThaiTable.com." I share it with all who are looking to replicate the great flavors associated with authentic Thai cooking. I have made a few minor adjustments. If you are lucky enough to have an Asian Grocery, you will find these ingredients to be very inexpensive and usually on hand. If all else fails, you can find these ingredients online.

Categories     Sauces

Time 25m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces roasted unsalted peanuts
3 -4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 ounce chopped onion
1 -2 tablespoon red curry paste or 1 -2 tablespoon massaman curry paste
1 teaspoon fish sauce
8 tablespoons coconut milk
4 -6 teaspoons lime juice (to taste)
2 -3 teaspoons palm sugar
chicken stock, to thin if necessary

Steps:

  • If you wish use peanut butter rather than fresh peanuts.
  • First grind or crush the peanuts to a fairly fine powder.
  • Then combine them with the remaining ingredients (except the lime juice), to form a smooth sauce.
  • If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it with a little chicken stock.
  • Now add the lime juice, tasting as you progress to check the balance of flavors is correct.
  • Note use red curry paste with beef or pork satay, massaman (as above) with chicken.
  • If you are doing shrimp satay then use half the quantity of massaman paste.

Tips:

  • To make the smoothest sauce, use a high-powered blender or food processor.
  • If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can mash the peanuts and other ingredients together with a fork or potato masher.
  • For a spicier sauce, add more chili paste or Sriracha sauce.
  • For a sweeter sauce, add more brown sugar or honey.
  • For a thinner sauce, add more water or coconut milk.
  • For a thicker sauce, add more peanut butter.
  • Serve the sauce immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for later use. The sauce will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Nam Jim Satay is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used as a dipping sauce, marinade, or dressing. It is perfect for grilled meats, chicken, shrimp, or vegetables.
