This is my homemade Thai peanut sauce recipe. I am a huge fan of Thai Food and peanut sauce tops my list of favorite Thai foods (well, sauces I guess???).
The base of the sauce is Coconut milk which is creamy and delicious, and then you just add some creamy peanut butter which gives it the signature peanut sauce flavor. But we can’t stop there! The rest of the ingredients are really what make this peanut sauce pop and give it a very authentic, Thai flavor!
