    I was having Swimming Rama the other day and decided I should make peanut sauce at home...

    Looks pretty easy to make... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=peanut+sauce+recipe

    obviously I googled it, a lot of the recipes out there are not meant for the healthy mind ... I'm wondering if anyone HERE has a healthier easy recipe ... sorry if I bothered you with my question ...

    I've also tried my Spark Recipe app but can't find one without coconut milk

    Start with peanuts or peanut butter and then mix it with other healthy stuff, done.

    tabasco sauce or anything that will add a little "spice" to it will work

    Instead of cayenne, I use hot sauce... Like franks hot sauce or tabasco.

    i suspect chili paste would work in place of cayenne too

    There are no rules with cooking you are the boss. i can take any recipe and make it healthy you dont really need all the ingredients in there to make it work. I go into the chicken and never follow a recipe i just add a bit of this and that to make it taste amazing.

    You can use chicken broth to thin the peanut butter then add something spicy-red pepper flakes or hot sauce.

    Sweet Peanut Sauce:

    1/4 cup peanut butter (your choice)
    2 TBSP soy sauce
    3 TBSP sesame oil
    3 TBSP sugar (I am sure you can cut this back or go for another sugar alternative)


    Put in a mixing bowl and microwave in 45 second intervals, stirring between each one until smooth and creamy.

    Caloric count is based on ingredients used. You don't need a whole lot of sauce, as for a little has a lot of flavor.
