Peanut sauce is tricky. I've been trying to perfect my own recipe for a while now but the flavors are always a bit off. After looking through countless recipes and recipe reviews online, I put together a rough list of ingredients:
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
Juice of 1/2 of a lime
A little Tabasco sauce, to taste
The sauce is easy to make - just whisk the ingredients together in a bowl (or mix them in a pan over low heat). You can add a couple tablespoons of water, if needed, to adjust the consistency. I ended up adjusting almost all of the ingredients to taste.
Peanut sauce tastes great over Thai rice noodles and veggies with some chopped cilantro. You can add tofu or chicken for a more filling dish, but today I just mixed in some sugar snap peas (recipe inspiration from Fitness Magazine).
The recipe looks very doable, but you didn't say whether it satisfied you! Does this one hit the mark?
