Spicy Peanut Sauce

Spicy Peanut sauce is a dipping sauce and marinade that every home chook needs in their repertoire. It is a perfect partner for most meat, especially chicken. However, it also can be used as a dipping sauce for sliced vegetables. It is often used to add flavour to grilled skewered meat such as satays, poured over vegetables as salad dressing such as in dipping sauces for spring rolls. I use chillies in this recipe but you can also use cayenne pepper. Mixed with the molasses, garlic, shallots and soy sauce are ground peanuts. However, this creates a Spicy Peanut Sauce mixture that is amazing in flavour, kick and texture.

Spicy Peanut Sauce

This has to be one of my favourite go to sauces. It works well with everything.
