Peanut satay sauce is delicious and really easy to make. Whenever we feel like Thai food, this homemade peanut sauce does the trick. The sauce is very creamy and mild in flavor, so if you want some extra spice, add some more chili flakes or siracha before serving. In addition, the marinade for the tofu can be used with chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, and fish so you have versatility with your proteins. We’ve also substituted sugar snap peas for the bok choy to get in another vegetable. I love having variety and options with my proteins and veggies when making classic dishes such as the peanut satay sauce. Enjoy your #MeatlessMonday!
