Does anyone have any tips for peanut sauce they can share? I'm going to make some chicken and rice for dinner and I feel a spicy peanut sauce would really tie it together, but I haven't tried to make my own before and don't really know what to expect.

1. Take peanuts.
2. Make sauce.
3.
4. Pad Thai.


I haven't actually done this myself, and I should look into it. But when it's so cheap to run to the Asian market and buy a tin of massaman curry, I have little reason to.

You could try taking peanut butter and thinning it with fish sauce, oyster sauce or soy sauce, and maybe adding a dollop of coconut milk to make it more sauce-like. Add a bit of chili oil or chili paste for the heat.

I will play around with this idea sometime this week and report back.


EDIT: regarding candied bacon, there's actually a brewpub here that serves a pint of candied bacon (in a pint glass no less) as an appetizer. It is not as delicious as you might think.....it is MORE DELICIOUS.

I usually fry onion, then add peanut butter and yogurt, but my peanut sauce is decent but not great. Looking forward to tips.

Ate salad from a Korean BBQ place. If I want to eat healthy, I want that kind of salad. Problem is I don't know how to make those. Its sort of a mix of leafy greens in sweet and spicy sauce but I'm pretty sure it isn't just pouring a bottle of sweet and spicy sauce on leafy greens.

The way I typically make peanut sauce is to combine peanut butter with enough cream of tomato soup to reach the desired consistency. Typically, condensed soup makes this easier, because I like thick sauces, so milk does the actual thinning. I'm not sure of volumes, but if I'm remembering correctly it's something like 2 parts condensed soup to 1 part peanut butter to 1 part milk. This I'll pour over some sauteed vegetables - I'd recommend hot peppers and garlic, at minimum. You'll probably like some onion in there, too. If you want some extra texture, crush some roasted peanuts (not too much; you want a range of piece sizes) and cook those with the vegetables before adding the sauce. You can use flavored peanuts for this; last time I did it they were some sort of caramel peanuts and that worked out pretty well.

Can't run any tests for you, as one of my roommates this year is deathly allergic to peanuts, so you'll have to experiment. It's not too easy to mess up, though - just make sure you have extra milk and extra peanut butter on hand to do consistency control after everything's combined.

I was darling around and I found something I want to make but not sure what recipe to go with
Bread stuffed with meat and cheese and baked.
Sounds much better than a normal sandwich
Anybody know a good recipe for this?

I cooked this evening! I made some Teriyaki Chicken with pointed peppers and mangetouts, served with some noodles.
Picture time!

Spoiler: Food! (click to show/hide)

Chicken breast in a marinade of fresh ginger, garlic, oil and sesame seeds

The sauce made of soy sauce, dry sherry (was supposed to be Mirin, but the recipe said that if you were unable to obtain Mirin sherry would be sufficient too) and brown sugar.

The pointed peppers and mangetouts, all neatly cleaned and cut into strips.

Everything while it's cooking. It smelled like heaven dear god <3.

After adding some sesame seeds, this is the final result. It turned out I didn't make enough sauce, so we all added some more soy sauce.

I'm too lazy right now but if anyone wants the recipe translated just say so.

In case you didn't realise, that was also a link to a recipce or two.

Looks good... But for the garlic, which sadly ruins the whole affair.

I did not
Thank you
Sorry if that last post came across as snappy...

Great success! I made this stuff, with smaller quantites, and put it on a chicken breast from the halal butcher down the street over steamed brown rice. The weakest link in this one was probably the rice, I didn't do it quite right and it ended up kinda mushy. I need to get myself a rice cooker. The chicken was delicious though, like everything else I've bought there, and the sauce was excellent though I think it could have used a little more curry paste.

I had bacon and toast-with-cinnamon on it for breakfast. Delicious.
And then for dinner, Chicken Caseadea! Faaantastish.

I'm not sure if you understand how cooking works. Unless you're a vampire, in which case I apologize for my cultural insensitivity.
