This easy, one-step peanut sauce is fantastic with any veggies, but especially with red peppers and snow peas. It's also great warmed up and served over pasta! The best flavor is achieved using fresh garlic and fresh lemon juice.

12 ounces white fish fillets, without skin (such as cod or haddock)
1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
2 teaspoons red curry paste
1 tablespoon lime juice (fresh)
1 garlic clove, crushed
4 dried kaffir lime leaves, crumbled (find in Asian supermarkets)

THAI PEANUT SAUCE/DIP



THAI PEANUT SAUCE/DIP image

Categories     Sauce     Nut

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup fresh-tasting dry roasted peanuts, unsalted
1/3 cup water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. dark soy sauce
2 tsp. sesame oil
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. fish sauce (If vegetarian, use vegetarian fish sauce or regular soy sauce)
1/2 tsp. tamarind paste OR 1/2 Tbsp. lime juice
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, OR 1 tsp. Thai chili sauce (more or less to taste)
1/3 cup coconut milk

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend or process until sauce is smooth. If you prefer a runnier peanut sauce, add a little more water or coconut milk. Do a taste test, adding more fish sauce if not salty enough, or more cayenne if not spicy enough. If too salty, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice. If you'd prefer it sweeter, add more sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature as a dip with fresh veggies, with chicken or beef satay, fresh spring rolls, or other Asian finger foods. Or mix with noodles to create a Thai-style noodle dish or cold noodle salad. Enjoy! Note: This sauce will thicken as it sits - just add a little water or coconut milk to thin it out, as needed. Otherwise it stores well if kept covered in the refrigerator (keep up to 2 weeks, or freeze).
