16 May Spicy Peanut Coconut Sauce
I’m a huge fan of peanut sauce on chicken, shrimp, vegetables, salad or stir-fry. To me, the most important factor when making peanut sauce is having the right balance of saltiness, sweetness, heat, and peanut flavor with a touch of acidity. This creamy peanut sauce uses all natural peanut butter, garlic, a touch of sriracha sauce, agave nectar, lime, organic tamari and coconut for the perfect blend of flavors. Not a fan of soy sauce? Try Liquid Aminos or Coconut Aminos instead. I’ve only made this sauce with reduced sodium San-J Organic Tamari Gluten Free Soy Sauce so let me know if you try it with one of these alternatives- I’d love to know how it turns out!
