#Chicken skewers cracked

I’m a firm believer that Chicken Satay skewers should be tasty enough to eat on their own and the peanut sauce just takes it over the top. Pure peanut butter is made with JUST peanuts – no sugar, oil or other additives – so the peanut flavour is stronger.Īlso, natural peanut butter is thinner than commercial peanut butter spreads (see below) which means you need less water to thin the sauce = better peanut flavour in Thai Peanut Sauce!Īhead of publishing this recipe, I tried the Thai Peanut Sauce with natural pure peanut butter vs commercial peanut butter (Kraft, now Bega) side by side to confirm this! While commercial peanut butter spread is ok, if you want a really great authentic Thai Peanut Sauce that truly stacks up to your favourite Thai restaurant, use pure peanut butter. You’ll find it in the health food section of most supermarket nowadays. Pure peanut butter (see below for more info)įor the BEST Thai Peanut Sauce, use natural peanut butter It’s literally just a 5 minute plonk-and-simmer job: Thai Peanut Sauce is almost unbelievably simple to make. It also happens to be the cheapest, at around $1.30 per can at major supermarkets like Coles, Woolies and Harris Farms. I also use this same brand for Green Curry and Red Curry for quick midweek curries. I use Maesri Thai Red Curry Paste which I think is the best by a long shot. While I’m an advocate of homemade curry paste for Thai Red Curry and Green Curry, for recipes like this that use a smaller quantity, I use store bought. We’re just using it as a flavour enhancer. You just need about 2.5 tbsp which doesn’t sound like much, but we don’t want this to taste of red curry. Thai Red Curry paste is a “secret ingredient” in both the marinade and the sauce.
