Questions about Peanut sauce
How do you stop peanut sauce getting too thick?
Whisk in warm water a spoonful at a time until it coats food but still pours easily. For a richer sauce, use coconut milk; add it gradually so the sauce stays smooth.
Can you heat peanut sauce without it splitting?
Warm it gently in a small pan over low heat, stirring often, and take it off the heat before it boils. If it thickens, whisk in a little warm water.
What do you eat with peanut sauce?
It is best known with satay skewers, but also works as a dip for spring rolls and raw vegetables, or as a dressing for noodle salads. Toss it through warm noodles with a splash of water to help it coat them.
How long does peanut sauce keep in the fridge?
Put homemade sauce in a clean, sealed container and refrigerate it promptly; use it within three to four days. Stir it before serving, as the oil can separate.
Can you freeze peanut sauce?
Yes. Freeze it in small, airtight portions for up to three months, then thaw it in the fridge. Whisk it well while reheating gently; add warm water if it has become thick or grainy.
What can you use instead of peanut sauce?
For a similar creamy dip without peanuts, blend sunflower seed butter with soy sauce, lime juice and a little warm water. Tahini also works, but it has a distinct sesame flavour and is not suitable for someone avoiding sesame.
Is peanut sauce safe for someone with a peanut allergy?
No: peanut sauce contains peanuts, so it is not suitable for someone with a peanut allergy. Avoid tasting it, and prevent contact with utensils and surfaces that may have touched peanuts.
