Hi, this was yummy. What’s the best way to make the extra sauce into peanut noodles!?

I'm making this right now and can't wait to eat it.  It smells delicious and I love peanut sauce.  Thanks again!

This chicken looks perfectly grilled! We love a good peanut sauce in our house.

I once went to a Thai restaurant with my friend, and her daughter literally drank the peanut sauce from its little bowl. That's pretty much how I feel about peanut sauce, and I'm excited to drink (I mean use) some I make from your recipe!

This easy and delicious peanut satay sauce uses simple ingredients, including whole peanuts, and takes less than 15 minutes to prepare from scratch!

Peanut Satay Sauce

150 g Peanuts (roasted - 1 cup)

g Sesame seeds (roasted

tbsp Sesame Seed oil

tbsp Rice Vinegar

tbsp Maple Syrup

tbsp Chili Garlic Paste

Roast peanuts

If you are using raw peanuts then first dry roast the peanuts in a skillet on stovetop on medium heat. While roasting shake and toss the peanuts few times and do not leave the stove, as they can burn very easily. Transfer to a bowl when peanuts are lightly brown and smell toasty.  (Skip this step if you are using pre-roasted peanuts.) Alternatively, you can toast the peanuts in the oven or air fryer.

Roast Sesame seeds

After roasting peanuts using same skillet roast the sesame seeds, since the quantity is small it would be better to toast on stovetop rather in oven or air fryer. Dry roast sesame seeds over medium heat with frequent tossing for even browning. Toast seeds for 3-4 minutes or lightly golden brown. Transfer the seeds to a bowl.

Transfer to food processor bowl

Now transfer the roasted peanuts and sesame seeds to a food processor bowl fitted with blade attachment. Pulse few times so that nuts get crushed.
