Peanut Sauce

Peanut Sauce is a creamy, peanut-based sauce widely used in Southeast Asian cooking (notably Indonesian and Thai) as a dip, satay accompaniment or salad dressing. It is relatively energy-dense and high in fat, providing 16g of fat per 100g along with modest plant protein. While peanut sauce supplies filling, mostly unsaturated fats and a good amino-acid profile, commercial versions are often higher in added sugar and salt, so choosing lower-sugar/salt options or using it sparingly can make it a healthier pantry choice.
