Peanut sauce - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of nut for this peanut sauce?

Yes! Almonds, cashews, or even sunflower seeds (for a nut-free version) can be substituted. The flavor will change, but the texture should remain similar. Toast them as you would peanuts for best results.

How long does this peanut sauce last in the refrigerator?

Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, this peanut sauce will last for up to 3-4 days. The oil may separate slightly, so stir well before serving.

Can I make this peanut sauce vegan?

Absolutely! Substitute the dairy cream with coconut cream (the thick part from a chilled can) or another plant-based cream alternative. Ensure your honey, if using, is replaced with a vegan sweetener like maple syrup or agave.

What if I don't have a food processor or blender?

You can finely chop the toasted nuts and then whisk all ingredients together vigorously by hand. The sauce will be slightly chunkier, but still delicious.

Can I freeze this peanut sauce?

Freezing is not recommended as the cream may separate upon thawing, affecting the texture. It's best enjoyed fresh or within a few days of making it.

What else can I serve this peanut sauce with besides pancakes?

This peanut sauce is fantastic with noodles, vegetables, grilled chicken or tofu, spring rolls, or as a dipping sauce for satay skewers. It's incredibly versatile!

How can I adjust the portion size of this recipe?

Simply halve or double the ingredient amounts to make a smaller or larger batch, respectively. No adjustments to the cooking method are needed.

My peanut sauce is too thick, how can I thin it out?

Add a tablespoon of water or a little more oil at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Stir well after each addition.
