My cousin, Melissa, made this homemade peanut sauce for a large family gathering in Vermont. It was used as a dipping sauce for a chicken and beef satay dish and was so delicious that I also put it on my salad and corn! I managed to recreate it back in Buffalo with a food processor and a few local ingredients.
1 Tbsp. minced garlic 1 cup all natural creamy peanut butter
1/8 cup fresh lime juice
1/8 cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp. honey or maple syrup
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
1/2 - 1 cup hot water
In food processor finely chop ginger & garlic. Add peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, and sugar. Blend until smooth. Mixture will be thick and pasty.
Transfer mixture to bowl and stir in sesame oil until combined. Stir in hot water until desired consistency. Transfer to bottle or jar for storage. Serve with soba noodles, bean sprouts, scallions, and peanuts OR allow chicken strips to marinade in sauce for a few hours before grilling OR use as a dipping sauce for veggies and meat.
