Thai Peanut Sauce
I have recently become OBSESSED with this Thai Peanut Sauce. I have put on everything from a chopped salad, to flatbread pizzas and crock pot chicken. It is such a versatile sauce that has so much depth of flavor with a kick of spice. While it requires a few extra ingredients, it is as easy and tossing in your blender and hitting start. Within 5 minutes, you will have a jar of this amazing sauce ready for so many great dishes!
Use it for dipping these Thai Peanut Chicken Tenders or toss it with this Light Wonton & Thai Peanut Sautée. No matter what you use it with, I guarantee it will be a winner!

Life has seemed so busy lately, despite not working as much this summer. It is really amazing how you can fill your days and weekends so quickly in the summer with outdoor activities, family gatherings, and weekend obligations. I have four days a week off in the summer, but those days have been filled with everything from golf to bachelorette getaways to family being home for the weekend. I wouldn’t have it any other way, but it just amazes me how quickly these months fly by!
I am taking most of next week off for a week away at a lake cabin with my entire family. While I fully anticipate there being stressful moments organizing 14 people in one house, I am hoping it is a great way to relax and catch up with family! Do you have any exciting plans this summer?

- 1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- ¼ tsp.ground ginger

What a great sauce! I could not believe how good it was when I tasted. Saving in the recipe book!
I’m thrilled to hear you loved it!
How long does this sauce last in the refrigerator? Is it possible to use it in freezer recipes, or would freezing it not be a good idea? It looks delicious, I’m just not sure I would use two cups of it all at once with just two people in my household.
I have actually used this sauce with freezer recipes myself and it works great. You could freeze the sauce alone or with a meal and it should last well. I keep mine refrigerated for up to a week.
can you buy it in a store
You can always buy it, but it won’t be as fresh and flavorfull as the homemade version.
Is the light coconut milk sweetened or unsweetened?
It is the canned version, which I believe is sweetened.
We aren’t a spicey food loving family, would this still be yummy without any chillies or peppers?
YES! It has lots of layers of flavor, so leaving out the heat would be just fine.
I think its RICE VINEGAR not RED RICE VINEGAR or maybe RED WINE VINEGAR.
I used RICE vinegar.
super yummy.
