Must-Try Asian Peanut Sauce

The inspiration for this peanut sauce recipe comes from one of our favorite Thai restaurants, Bangkok Bistro. They serve a free salad with every entree that comes with this incredible peanut sauce (and wonton crisps on top, yum) and since it’s too far away to go very often, my husband came up with this recipe to tide me over when I’m craving that incredible peanut sauce.

The best thing about this peanut sauce is how versatile it is. You can make it thick and have it as a sauce on pasta and veggies, make it normal and have it as a dressing on an Asian salad, or make it a little thinner and have it as a dipping sauce for springrolls. All three ways are just as delicious.

This sauce is as simple as mixing up all the ingredients and letting it simmer until it reaches the right consistency.
