Easy peanut satay sauce made with healthy, whole food ingredients ready in only five minutes. Perfect for dipping seasoned or grilled meat skewers or mixing with your favorite Asian dishes.
My kids love chicken and beef satay with peanut dipping sauce. Both the Thai and Vietnamese restaurants in our community offer this dish on the menu.
Unfortunately, the ingredients of these house-made sauces no doubt contain at least some GMOs and unhealthy vegetable oils.
Even the ingredients of a peanut dipping sauce from a generally decent brand from the health food store (Thai Kitchen) are unacceptable.
Note that water is the FIRST ingredient. In addition, toxic soybean oil (likely GMO) and xanthan gum that can cause gut distress are listed.
Water, peanuts, coconut milk, pure cane sugar, soybean oil, lemongrass, garlic, chili, onion, salt, pepper, fennel, coriander, galangal (thai ginger), citric acid, kaffir lime, xanthan gum (a natural emulsifier).
If you enjoy seasoned or grilled chicken or beef skewers (satay) in your home too, try this easy peanut dipping sauce instead of brands from the store.
It’s ready in only five minutes, is far healthier and less expensive too.
What about the taste? My kids say the flavor and consistency is better than restaurant versions.
