Peanut sauce is a condiment that is commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in Thai and Indonesian dishes. It is made from ground roasted peanuts blended with other ingredients such as garlic, chili, lime juice, sugar or honey, fish sauce, and water to create a creamy texture. The flavor profile of peanut sauce can vary depending on the proportions of each ingredient used, but it is generally savory with a hint of sweetness and a bit of heat from chili. Peanut sauce is often served as a dipping sauce for noodle dishes like pad thai or satay, but it can also be used as a marinade or dressing for vegetables or meats.
