Definitely Rich Thai Peanut Sauce
This post was originally published as Thai Peanut Sauce by Laurel on Health Food.
My favorite Thai restaurant in the city recently closed for renovations. Wah! But, the good news is that it motivated me to try making my own Thai peanut sauce. Ohhh, I am so glad I did. This sauce was one of the easiest things to make, thanks to store bought peanut butter. I wanted the sauce to have a pretty strong peanut butter taste, because that’s how I like it. My boyfriend and I ate the sauce last night over brown rice and plain stir-fried vegetables (garlic, red bell pepper, mushrooms, snow peas, and green onions sautéed in veggie stock) with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top. It was rich and filling, and you can bet I ate the leftovers for lunch today.
This sauce is definitely rich, so remember that a little goes a long way. The recipe makes plenty for a family dinner with leftovers for meals later in the week. Serve it with plain vegetables and whole grains (there is plenty of oil and flavor in the sauce already).
