Easy Satay Sauce Recipe (Better Than Takeout!)

peanut butter

🥗Healthier: almond butter

💰Cheaper: sunflower seed butter

Sunflower seed butter is often less expensive and nut-free.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: milk

Milk can be a lower-cost substitute, though it alters flavor.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

💰Cheaper: liquid aminos

Liquid aminos provide a soy-free alternative.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: white sugar

White sugar is a more economical option.

Mix chicken stock, ketchup, and ketchup manis in a bowl and stir well.

Heat a pot or pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil.

Once the oil is hot, press in the garlic and fry for roughly 30 seconds, being careful not to overfry it.

Add the chicken stock mixture to the pot and stir well.

Bring the mixture to a slight simmer.

Once simmering, add the brown sugar and peanut butter.

Lower the heat to medium-low and whisk everything together until the peanut butter dissolves, even if it looks lumpy at first.

Let the sauce simmer on low for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens up.
