Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce
This all-purpose condiment is a great way to add a splash of Thai flavour to a salad or vegetable dish. The secret to its exotic flavour is its perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy.
Ingredients
2 cups smooth peanut butter
4 limes, zest and juice
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon chili flakes or hot sauce
a large bunch mint
a handful or two peanuts
4 limes, zest and juice
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon chili flakes or hot sauce
a large bunch mint
a handful or two peanuts
Instructions
Toss everything into your food processor or blender, then purée until almost smooth, leaving the peanuts a touch chunky. Some blenders are stronger than others; if yours needs a little help, add a splash of water to help it purée to a thick peanut butter consistency.

Variation
If you like the strong flavour of fresh cilantro, use it to replace some or all of the mint. For even more authentic Thai flavour, add a splash of Thai fish sauce.
Wow, nothing thai about this recipe at all. Where is the coconut milk or red curry paste ?
I think the above recipe for peanut Thai sauce should have two cups of peanut butter. That is the amount you used in your video and in another printed recipe and on TV
Yes, something is very wrong about the measurements. Had to add many more spoonfuls of peanut butter. At first it was very liquidy and limey. NOW IT ROCKS.

This sounds delicious! Just wondering how long it can be stored (if it can be at all), and if so what the best storage method is?
This is very good! I used the fish sauce and cilantro. I didn’t have enough peanut butter so I used some tahini sesame paste and that worked just fine. I’ll try the mint in the summer!
I love all you recipes
