What’s inside in this peanut satay sauce

You only need 5 ingredients to make this magic sauce, not counting salt and pepper, or water to thin:

• peanut butter
• garam masala
• minced garlic
• tamari (which is gluten free soy sauce but any other soy sauce will work)
• coconut milk

You can add 2 other optional ingredients, if you like:

• lime juice for a lemon flavor
• maple syrup for a bit subtle sweetness

How to make satay sauce

You don’t even need a blender or food processor to make this satay sauce. All you need is one bowl.

Combine all the ingredients like peanut butter, coconut milk, tamari, minced garlic, garam masala, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. If you would like to add the optional lime juice and maple syrup, do it now.

Mix everything well with a spatula or wire whisk until well combined. Put the sauce into a jar with a lid. It will stay keep fresh for about 5 days.

This healthy satay sauce makes such an amazing condiment to almost everything. As you can see in my pictures I really enjoy it over some fries!

Those golden fries are homemade in the oven but of course you can buy your favorite as well. I covered them with a lot of sauce, sprinkled some crushed peanuts, and cilantro on top.

Such a combination was really yummy and satisfying. If you’re looking for more easy dinner ideas, this will surely fit the craving. Also it is a must make for any meal prep ideas. It will go so well with many things. Just think about pasta, vermicelli, rice, quinoa, roasted chickpeas, baked cauliflower. You see it’s also good to dream big.

Need something new? Make an Indonesian satay sauce and add some ginger for more variety.

Looking for healthy stir fry recipes? Add some broccoli, peas, carrots, bell peppers and voila you have a stir fry recipe in no time. Couldn’t get any better and easier, right?

Another recommendation is to swap garam masala for curry paste like I did before in this Thai Peanut Sauce with Basil and you have a Thai stir satay sauce in no time.
