Homemade Thai Peanut Sauce
In a saucepan, combine:
1/4 cup nat peanut butter **see note about PB2
1/4 cup Braggs (soy beans, filtered water)
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp sesame seed oil
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp garlic powder
Pinch (or more!) of hot pepper flakes
Heat over medium heat until bubbling, stirring constantly.
Nutrition (per tbsp):
Cals 39, 2g carbs, 1 g protein, 3 g fat ~ but using the PB2 makes the fat component almost non-existent!
**I used 3 tbsp of the PB2 (powdered peanuts) mixed with about 1/2 cup water, and then added a bit of apple cider vinegar to make a thinner consistency for a stir fry. I also use this sauce as the base for Thai Chicken Tortilla pizzas, made on the ancient grains tortillas (just bake the tortilla in the oven for about 4 mins to crisp it a bit before putting sauce and toppings on)
