This Thai Peanut Sauce is traditionally served as a dipping sauce with Chicken Satay (chicken that is grilled on a bamboo skewer). However, it works equally well as a dipping sauce or finishing sauce for shrimp, pork or beef.
When preparing the sauce do not use a freshly ground peanut butter. This will result in a sauce that is too oily. A creamy peanut butter works best. Garnish with some chopped roasted peanuts and some chopped green onions.
1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1 can (14.8-ounce size) Chicken Broth
1/4 cup Fresh Lime Juice
3 tablespoons Brown Sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons Fresh Ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Place peanut butter in saucepan over medium heat. Gradually mix in the chicken broth. Add remaining ingredients and stir over medium heat until smooth and thick, about 6 minutes. Makes 3 cups of sauce.
