AUTHENTIC THAI PEANUT SAUCE



Authentic Thai Peanut Sauce image

This is a quick and delicious thai peanut sauce that can be used for dipping satay, fresh spring rolls, deep fried tofu, or really anything. I originally found it on the website SheSimmers.com and then adapted it to my own taste and the ingredients I had on hand. You can make it creamy or chunky depending on your preference, I like to add some chopped up peanuts to mine for that extra crunch. Either way, the flavor is perfect and to me it tastes just like the peanut sauce you would get at a thai restaurant. You could also use it on rice or noodles or as a salad dressing. Yum!

Time 10m

Yield 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup sugar (or more to taste)
2 tablespoons white vinegar (cider or rice vinegar work well)

Provided by Debs Recipes

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon asian chili oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
3 tablespoons chicken broth
1 (6 3/4 ounce) package thin rice noodles
8 ounces frozen broccoli cuts (2 1/2 cups or half of a 14-ounce package)
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced on the diagonal
1 tablespoon peanut oil or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
coarse-ground garlic salt
1 cup sliced mushrooms
green onion, thinly sliced
unsalted dry roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk soy sauce and brown sugar together until dissolved then add gradually to peanut butter; stir until smooth; stir in ginger, sesame oil, chili oil, and rice vinegar; blend well.
  • FYI: At this point the thick peanut sauce makes a great dipping sauce!
  • Stir chicken broth into peanut sauce; cook in microwave oven about 45 seconds or just until bubbly around edges; stir and set aside.
  • Bring a large saucepan containing 5-6 cups water to a boil; remove pan from heat and add rice noodles; soak noodles in hot water for 3-5 minutes until they are cooked but still al denté firm; rinse noodles under cold water; drain and set aside; if your noodles are very long you may want to chop them into a more manageable length.
  • Meanwhile, peel carrots then slice them with a diagonal cut into pieces about 1/8" thick and 2" long; par boil or steam carrots slices together with frozen broccoli cuts for about 3 minutes or until carrots are barely crisp-tender and broccoli is no longer frozen; remove from heat and rinse under cold water; trim down any oversized pieces of broccoli; set aside.
  • Add peanut oil and sesame oil to a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat; heat until oil is almost smoking; add chicken to skillet and sauté 1 1/2 minutes or until the chicken is not quite done; add mushrooms, carrots, and broccoli to skillet; sauté another 1 1/2 minutes; add peanut sauce and toss about 30 seconds until chicken and veggies are evenly coated with sauce; add rice noodles; cook and toss for 1 minute until heated through.
  • Turn onto serving plate(s) and serve immediately garnished with sliced green onions and chopped peanuts.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter will give your sauce a smoother and more consistent texture. If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can blend it in a food processor until it is smooth.
  • Add some heat: If you like your food spicy, you can add some chili paste or Sriracha sauce to the stir-fry sauce. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your stir-fry the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy organic vegetables to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
  • Cook the vegetables quickly: Stir-fries are all about quick cooking. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and lose their flavor. Cook the vegetables over high heat for just a few minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
  • Serve with rice or noodles: Stir-fries are traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve them over quinoa or buckwheat for a healthier option.

Conclusion:

Thai-style peanut stir-fry sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, savory flavor, and hint of spice, this sauce is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
