This recipe has become a staple dish in my home. I sauté veg, chicken and add thai noodles for the most incredible dinner. Nice find!

I made this exactly as written and it was not like any peanut sauce I've had. It tasted like eating pure peanut butter! Maybe it should have sat longer to blend but it was just way too thick. I see others have commented on cutting back on the peanut butter and maybe that would have helped.

Great recipe! It makes alot of sauce - so I would recommend freezing part of it. I put the sauce over sauted chicken tenders, onions and green peppers and served it over jasmine rice. I can't wait to try it over rice noodles!

I made this sauce exactly as the recipe stated, and used it as a coating for flat lo-mein noodles. Its a decent sauce, but the flavors don't combine very well. The taste of peanut butter is very strong, before being replaced by the lime juice/cilantro. Also, the sauce would benefit from some texture - some crushed peanuts would be the obvious choice. A more authentic Thai sauce would use only crushed peanuts and forego the peanut butter, anyway. If I were to make this again, I'd use much less peanut butter, add some finely-crushed peanuts, and perhaps add even a little more water.

I made this the day before to accompany Chicken Satay. The extra time gave this sauce a chance to come together flavourwise. The cilantro added about an hour before serving is important to the fresh taste. Very good. Thanks for the recipe.

This sauce is fantastic! I had coconut milk left over so I tried this recipe out in order to use it up and it is now going to be a consistent meal. I did use one cup peanut butter and one cup coconut milk and it tasted delicious. Much better than any peanut sauce you can buy at the store. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a wonderful Thai peanut sauce! I followed the recipe exactly. When i tasted it, I thought it was marginal (a little bit of a letdown). But...after sitting in the fridge for and hour and then being used with Thai Chicken Satay (recipe on this site - read my review), it was awesome! The various flavors in the sauce must have needed time to blend and accompanied by the taste of the marinated chicken, it was definitely 'The Best Thai Peanut Sauce"!

Super thick if made as written. Reduce the amount of peanut butter! Nothing like the peanut sauce at my favorite Thai rest. It just tasted to much like regular peanut butter with a little bit of spice to it. Maybe if i reduced the peanut butter by 1/2 i would have been able to taste the other ingredients. Probably wont make this version again.

The best thai peanut sauce I've tasted in or out of a restaurant. The recipe is very forgiving, too. I had to alter a couple of things because I didn't have them. I used teriyaki sauce instead of soy, omitted the fish sauce, and soaked 1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut in skim milk in place of the cocnut milk. I also added some sugar. I will be making this constantly now; Thank You!

I will make this sauce again, I did however add dark brown sugar and next time I will not add as much ginger. I really like ginger but feel like it was really strong in this dish. This sauce is really good with thai egg rolls.

I'm not an expert on Thai food but I thought this sauce was great with Chicken Satay and later stirred into noodles. I did start with only 1 cup of peanut butter, but I stayed with 1/2 cup of coconut milk. I did use 3 tablespoons of water as directed, if you want a thinner sauce I would add more water, coconut milk is too thick to thin the sauce. I didn't have fish sauce so I used extra soy sauce. Also I used Thai Chili Sauce (a sweet and spicy, syrupy kind of sauce) in place of the hot sauce (I used about 3 tablespoons). Everything else I did as directed...makes a bunch though, unless you plan on using it for several things you might want to only make half!!

I used the whole amount of peanut butter which was too much. It made it too thick. 1/2 cup would be plenty. I also threw in 2 teaspoons of curry powder. The flavor was amazing. It was the hit of the faculty room

Delicious! But I did make a few changes: A added a little cumin and turmeric, and was very happy with the results of that. I also heated it in a saucepan while mixing the ingredients in. This softened the peanut butter, which was otherwise way to sticky, and made it much easer to blend everything together smoothly. I used this peanut sauce as a sauce for a chicken stir-fry, which I then put into a garlic-and-pesto tortilla along with some rice vermicelli to make a wrap. It was wonderful!

very good! I give 4 stars instead of 5 b/c I don't have a lot of experience with peanut sauces so I'm not sure this is actually "the best". But it was darned good! I used one full can of coconut milk and about a cup of peanut butter. I'd suggest starting with 1/2 the can of coconut milk and going from there, my sauce was quite liquidy. The taste was great though. I served this over the "Thai Tuna Burgers" by Dakota Kelly, over Jasmine rice with the cilantro on the side. Very good combination with the tuna burgers and rice! My husband's eyes lit up when he tasted all this together.
