Thai Peanut Sauce with Ginger

By Jolinda Hackett, About.com

Macaroni and cheese? No, it's macaroni and Thai peanut sauce!
This is a mild Thai peanut sauce recipe, perfect for kids who love peanut butter. If you prefer a spicier version, you can add extra red pepper flakes or even fresh diced chilies. Serve your Thai peanut sauce over pasta or noodles, or use as a dip for veggies. You can also use Thai peanut sauce as a salad dressing if you add some extra liquid to thin it out a bit. This Thai peanut sauce with ginger recipe is both vegetarian and vegan.

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup peanut butter, softened
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • juice from 2 limes

  • 1/2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • salt to taste

Preparation:

Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl. If needed, you can microwave the peanut butter for a few seconds first to soften it up.
