    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

    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.

    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.
