Note

For a smoother texture, use creamy peanut butter instead of chunk-style.

To thin the sauce further, add warm water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before using as separation may occur.

This sauce pairs exceptionally well with steamed tofu, satay skewers, spring rolls, or vegetable stir-fries.
