Satay Sauce - Yum!

I have only recently been introduced to satay sauce.

I know.

I have no idea why it took so long either.

When I made spring rolls yesterday, I knew I had to dip them in satay sauce. But I didn't want to use the bottled stuff - I wanted to give it a go.

I started google-ing recipes (what is the correct way to write 'google-ing'? Anybody know?) and didn't find any that worked for me (meaning: I didn't have any coconut oil and a whole lot of em called for it). So I pulled stuff out of my cupboards and threw one together.

Like the non-traditional salad rolls, this satay sauce isn't like one you'll find in a restaurant, but it was really good. It went with the salad rolls really well and I think it would be awesome on chicken or beef too. If some makes it past another session of salad rolls, I'll let you know if it works :)

Satay Sauce 
1 tbsp sambal (Indonesian sweet chili sauce)
80g peanut butter
1/2 tsp malt vinegar
juice of one lemon
2 tbsp grated ginger
1 tsp sherry
1/2 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar

Note: That sambal is seriously good stuff.


Note: I used crunchy peanut butter


Note: I miss Kraft crunchy peanut butter

Throw everything into a pot and warm until its a homogeneous mixture and the sugar is all dissolved.

Adjust to taste (I may have added more ginger and sesame oil) and enjoy!

It was really good with my salad rolls!

Do you like satay sauce? Do you have a favorite recipe?


Peace,
