Sweet Peanut Sauce for Satays Recipe

Sweet Peanut Sauce for Satays

Worawut's recipe for sweet peanut sauce (น้ำจิ้มสะเต๊ะ , Nam Jim Satay) will make your satay taste the way you remember them in Thailand. It's made with homemade Thai red curry paste, so it has an amazing array of flavors from fresh lemongrass, galagal, kaffir lime, and dry roasted cumin, coriander, and peppercorns, as well as the nutty sweetness from peanuts and coconut sugar. Although traditionally used as a dipping sauce for chicken or pork satays, this lovely sauce will also make a delicious dip for your vegetable crudite platter.
