I received a basic thai peanut sauce recipe from a very kind friend back in Oregon who worked at a popular Thai restaurant there and modified it with my own taste. Made this a lot of times and always got rave reviews, try it and you won't regret it!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic

  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste

  • 1 ¼ cups creamy peanut butter

  • ¾ cup brown sugar

  • ½ teaspoon chili powder

  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • ½ tablespoon fish sauce

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 3 (13.5 ounce) cans coconut milk

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until the aroma of the garlic has mellowed, about 1 minute. Add the red curry paste, and stir for 1 minute more. Whisk in the peanut butter, brown sugar, chili powder, cayenne pepper, fish sauce, sesame oil, and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and is smooth.
