This is a mild and slightly sweet thai peanut sauce, perfect for kids who love peanut butter. For a spicier version, add extra red pepper flakes or even fresh diced chilies. For a traditional indonesian-style peanut satay sauce, top it off with crispy fried shallots. Adding sweet chili sauce into sweet peanut sauces, such as this one, or a bit of red curry paste gives the sauce a different depth of flavor, rich and bold. Peanut sauce is incredibly versatile, great over pasta or noodles, it can be used as a dip for veggies, as a salad dressing with some additional liquid to thin it out, or over tofu or tempeh for a decadent vegan treat. This thai peanut sauce with a ginger recipe is both vegetarian and vegan, and, if you swap out the soy sauce for tamari or nama shoyu, it is completely gluten free as well.
