How should I store Thai Peanut Sauce?

Thai Peanut Sauce should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Make sure it cools to room temperature before sealing and placing it in the fridge. This helps to maintain its freshness and flavor.

How long will Thai Peanut Sauce keep in the refrigerator?

Properly stored, Thai Peanut Sauce can last for up to one week in the refrigerator. The freshness of the ingredients and the cleanliness of the storage container can affect its shelf life, so it's always best to check for any signs of spoilage before use.

Can I freeze Thai Peanut Sauce?

Yes, you can freeze Thai Peanut Sauce for up to three months. Use a freezer-safe container, and leave a little space at the top as the sauce will expand slightly when frozen. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before using and give it a good stir to mix any separated ingredients.

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, peanut butter, red curry paste, brown sugar, fish sauce, tamarind paste (if using), soy sauce, and ground cumin. Mix these together until smooth.
Simmer: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Adjust Consistency: As the sauce begins to warm and ingredients meld together, assess the thickness. Add up to 1/4 cup of water if the sauce is too thick, stirring well to incorporate.
Add Lime Juice: After the sauce has simmered for about 5 to 10 minutes and the flavors have combined nicely, remove from heat and stir in the lime juice. Adjust the lime juice according to taste, adding more if you prefer a tangier sauce.
Garnish and Serve: Pour the sauce into a serving bowl. Sprinkle the top with crushed peanuts and chopped cilantro for added flavor and a beautiful presentation.

Notes

Serve this savory peanut sauce with chicken, beef, or tofu satay.

It can also be used as a dressing for Thai salads or as a delicious dip for fresh vegetables.
