SPICY PEANUT SAUCE



Spicy Peanut Sauce image

One of the best recipes for peanut sauce I have tried! This goes great with grilled meats, especially on grilled chicken skewers, on noodles, even used as a salad dressing for spinach salad!. You won't be able to keep your spoon out of the jar, it is that good LOL! This peanut sauce is of a thinner consistency, if you want a thicker sauce, then add in more peanut butter and reduce the water just slightly. This can be made up to 3 days in advance. Kikkoman Thai-Style chili sauce can be found in any Asian section of major grocery stores, I purchase mine at Safeway stores in the Asian section, but you can use any brand of Thai chili sauce for this. You can use about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon (or to taste) red pepper flakes in place of the chili sauce. This recipe may be cut in half to make 2 cups.

Categories     Sauce     Ginger     Nut     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Peanut     Spring     Gourmet     Small Plates

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 scallions, chopped fine
1 garlic clove, chopped fine
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh gingerroot
1 cup water
1/2 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
3 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • In a saucepan heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook scallions, garlic and ginger, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer, stirring. Simmer sauce, stirring, until smooth and cool to room temperature. Sauce may be made up to 3 days ahead and chilled, covered. If sauce is too thick after chilling, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons hot water until sauce reaches desired consistency.
  • Serve sauce with grilled poultry or meat, on noodles, or as a dressing for spinach salad.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter will give your sauce a smooth and velvety texture. If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can blend it until smooth in a food processor or blender.
  • Add a little heat: Cayenne pepper or chili powder will add a nice kick to your sauce. You can also add some Sriracha or sambal oelek for a more intense heat.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic will give your sauce a bright and flavorful taste. If you don't have fresh ginger or garlic, you can use ground ginger or garlic powder, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Add a splash of lime juice: Lime juice will add a bit of acidity and brightness to your sauce. You can also use lemon juice, but lime juice has a more intense flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping foods: Peanut sauce is delicious with a variety of dipping foods, such as chicken satay, spring rolls, or vegetables. You can also use it as a dressing for salads or noodles.
