Notes

This peanut sauce or satay sauce, as it is also known can be served hot or cold but it will need extra water if it's heated.

If you want a thinner sauce, add a little bit more water or lime juice to taste. For a crunchier texture reduce the final blending time by 5 seconds. For a smoother sauce increase the blending time by 5 seconds.

*Omit shrimp paste for a vegetarian version.
