Satay Sauce Recipe

This sauce is surprisingly very good with very little ingredients. In my country we make this sauce from scratch and it is a very tedious process. I am so happy to find this recipe. So close to the original. If you like it hot like me, you can add sambal oelek (hot red chili sauce)or red chili flakes.Yumm!

This vegan "Satay Sauce" tastes much better than I anticipated given the simplicity of the recipe; however, mine was thin (remedied with extra peanut butter). I would add the coconut milk slowly next time to see how much I need. Also, I think ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and sriracha would be good additions. As the recipe is, it tastes exactly like the appetizer dip served with shrimp chips at a local Thai restaurant. For those of you who like to cook in metric, my 1/2 cup of all-natural peanut butter weighted 150 grams (not 130 grams as in the metric version of this recipe). Thank you SMTUNE for sharing your recipe.

I liked this as a base, but for us, it was much too sweet. The peanut butter was sweet and adding sugar just made it more so. I added a lot more red pepper flakes and some other chili powder and that helped. I cooked about a pound of pork in it, served it with rice noodles and stir-fried veggies. I liked it more than my hubby did and he asked to have it more often. That means he really liked it!!

Really good, and super easy! I’m going to use the rest with some pad Thai noodles. Like others said, the sauce is pretty thick. I would recommend trying it with a 13.5-ounce can of coconut milk next time.

This recipe is great. I use creamy peanut butter per my own tastes. Half an onion minced can be overpowering depending on how its done, so be careful. About 1TB minced seems good to me. I also like double or more of the red pepper flakes. I love to use this sauce on thai pizzas.

Thanks Steve - This was so easy to make and produced the best Satay we have had at home! Actually there is only one Thai shop we have had a better Satay at. Out of habbit I fried the onion with some garlic before adding other ingredients (doubled the recipe with success) and because I had no red pepper flakes, I just used the Cayenne Pepper Powder (not fond of hot spices, so used limited quantity). We stirred cooked chicken in sauce and left it to marinate. It reheated successfully and we served it over rice. Thanks again - I will use this recipe again and again!

This is a good base for satay sauce just a little bit boring. I added 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp coriander, 3cloves of garlic, a tbsp of ginger, half a tsp of sambal oelek and added some brown sugar (to taste), to make this a lot more adventurous and spicier.

This is a really good, quick, & easy sauce. I added a bit more peanut butter and left out the brown sugar completely. I had missed the sugar when making this originally and then decided it was great with out it. I also added garlic, and chili paste. I tend to like a more savory peanut sauce. I grilled chicken skewers using this as a basting sauce, and then alongside as a dipping sauce. The next day, I took the leftover sauce and made a meal out of it by adding some leftover linguine noodles and cut up chicken. I warmed this up, tossed it with the sauce and added bean sprouts, some leftover veggies, and some green onions to the top. It was yummy!! Thanks for the recipe!

I just looked at the ingredients, and the amount was played by taste and look. I used chunky peanut butter sauce, and the texture turned out really great with the finely chopped onion. I also added minced garlic to bring out the flavor and fish sauce, it tasted more authentic. Next time, I will try adding either lemon, lime, or mined lemon grass.

I made it without the yellow onion but cut up green onions and sprinkled them on top of the sauce portions for each person. Huge difference and delish!!

I added 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro to it, and that made the sauce a bit more complex. I would be careful bringing this to a boil. My sauce quickly burned on the bottom of my sauce pan.

The flavor hit harder than expected.

I'm gonna use it on chicken thighs this time.

It tasted amazing

Yum yum yum

I liked this recipe. I added some garlic/black bean paste to the sauce because some reviews said it wasn’t too sweet. I am glad I did. It wasn’t too sweet but it is a sweet, creamy sauce. IT made a ton too. I’m not sure what else to use it for but I have lot to get through.

Perfect satay sauce you can easily make at home with existing ingredients!

Absolutely Fabulous!! My girls loved it. Used smooth Peanut Butter because that is what we had. Getting ready to make it again. Thank you so much for this marvellous recipe.

So good with breast of chicken and sweet potato waffle fries
