Thermomix Thai Peanut Satay Sauce
A creamy, flavour-packed peanut satay sauce that comes together in just 10 minutes. Perfect for dipping chicken skewers, crudités such as cucumber, carrot and red pepper, or drizzling over noodles.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 100 g natural smooth peanut butter, see notes
- 200 g full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon red curry paste, see notes
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce, or tamari
- ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar, or lime juice
- ½ tablespoon white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
Optional for Topping
- 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
- ½ teaspoon chilli flakes
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to the Thermomix bowl and blend for 10 sec/speed 3. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula.
- Heat for 5 min/80℃/speed 2, without the measuring cup. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
- Taste and adjust - season with salt and add a little more sugar if you prefer a sweeter sauce, or a little more vinegar/lime juice for extra tang.
- Scatter the roughly chopped roasted peanuts over the top just before serving.
Notes
Peanut butter: Use natural/pure peanut butter (100% peanuts, no additives). Give it a good stir first as the oil separates and rises to the surface. Avoid commercial peanut butters like Bega as they contain added sugar and oils which will affect the flavour.
Red curry paste: Any brand works well here. Maesri is a great economical option and widely available at Coles and Woolworths.
Roasted peanuts: To roast peanuts, place them in a dry frying pan over medium heat and stir frequently for 3-5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Watch them carefully as they can burn quickly! Allow to cool before roughly chopping.
Quantity: This recipe makes approximately 1 cup, perfect for 2-4 people as a dipping sauce. It doubles easily - simply double all the ingredients and increase the heating time in Step 2 to 7 minutes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. The sauce will thicken as it cools - simply stir in a little warm water to loosen it before serving.
