Reviews
I agree with the other reviewer who said the agave isn’t necessary. It came out sweeter than I would have liked and also was a bit runnier than I wanted. But the flavor was good and it worked okay in my stir fry.
I think the agave is unnecessary. I only used a tablespoon and felt it was too sweet. Took me some time but was able to adjust it. It’s a good basic sauce if your careful. I added some harissa for heat and used coco aminos instead of soy sauce. I was looking for something to go with an African meal.
Water thin, too much lime, tastes nothing like authentic Thai peanut sauce
This is a really easy and delicious sauce. A little thin, maybe less coconut milk, but very good!
I made the sauce as a side while using a pad Thai recipe (JIC the kids wanted to add more peanut flavor) and they loved it.
I added about a teaspoon of corn starch in a few ounces of coconut milk to make a slurry and thicken the sauce. Very tasty.
Very good. Quick and easy recipe. On second attempt I cut the lime juice in half. I add it at the end of preparing chicken and vegetable stir fry with pad Thai noodles. It’s a keeper when the kids ask when are you going to make that again!
This is a superb recipe – have made it many times. I’ve made it with agave just as the recipe says, and it was great. I’ve been using honey instead of agave because it has beneficial enzymes and other nutritional benefits. I love this recipe, and now it’s hard to have peanut sauce at a restaurant because this recipe tastes so much better.
great sauce
Halved the recipe and it made a lot. Was a little runny so I added a bit more peanut butter to thicken it up, and it was great! The chicken satays I made from another recipe on this site could use a little work, but as far as the sauce goes, I will be making it again and again!
