Let me start by saying, I am absolutely obsessed with Thai peanut sauce. I could drink it straight from the bowl—seriously, if you handed me a bowl of just Thai peanut sauce, I’d happily devour it.
My love for this sauce is limitless. Well, almost. The one thing holding me back is the calories. Thai peanut sauce tends to pack in a lot of them.
I eat it all the time. Stir fry for dinner? Thai peanut sauce, of course! Spring rolls for lunch? You know it—Thai peanut sauce! Asian salad? You better believe I’m drizzling that Thai peanut sauce on top.
But, I wanted to find a healthier, low-calorie version of Thai peanut sauce.
And guess what? I’ve got it, right here for you!
This is the base recipe, but it’s totally customizable. Love garlic? Toss it in! Can’t get enough ginger? Go for it! Want some heat? Add as much spice as you like. Prefer no spice? Skip it! Feel like adding a little green? Scallions are a great choice!
While the flavor is spot-on, I should mention that the texture isn’t quite like the thick, heavy consistency of traditional Thai peanut sauces. This version is much lighter and more watery. But don’t worry—thanks to powdered peanut butter, you still get a big peanut flavor in just a small amount. A little really does go a long way.
