Homemade Satay Sauce - Episode 123 - Baking with Eda

peanut butter

🥗Healthier: almond butter

💰Cheaper: sunflower seed butter

Almond butter provides a similar texture with less saturated fat.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: liquid aminos

Tamari is gluten-free and adds umami flavor.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: white sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness with a distinct flavor.

Place the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

In a bowl, add 150 ml water and peanut butter, stir until the peanut butter melts.

Pour the mixture into the pan.

Add the sambal, ketjap Manis, and mashed garlic.

Bring to a very gentle boil over medium heat, whisking constantly.

Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes over low heat, being careful not to let it scorch at the bottom of the pot.

Take the pot off the heat, let the sauce cool down to room temperature (or slightly warmer), and serve the sauce with satay.
