    Meet You New Go-To Put On Everything Sauce: Keto Peanut Sauce

    I grew up eating traditional Southern fare. Fried chicken was a weekly thing, and cornbread was one of my first loves.

    I knew my mother was a fabulous cook. What I didn't know was all the other flavors I was missing out on.

    It wasn't until my 20's that I finally broadened my horizons, and it was during that time that I discovered my passion for food.

    The first time I tried peanut sauce was at an Asian restaurant. To say that I fell for it hard would be an understatement. To a girl whose sauces had been limited to gravy and ranch dressing, I felt like my tastebuds were waking up to a whole new world.

    I immediately started playing with versions at home, and this Keto Peanut Sauce recipe is my latest variation.

    This recipe isn't finicky, so feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste. I often add quite a bit more ginger and garlic and have been known to throw in a touch of onion. This recipe is a ridiculously delicious way to add an Asian flair chicken and vegetables.

    Tips for Making This Recipe:

    • The consistency of this sauce is up to personal preference. If you want to thin it, make sure you don't add too much water at a time. It can become runny quickly, so add water just a tablespoon at a time.
    • If you are on Keto, make sure you read the label of your peanut butter to ensure that it doesn't have any sugar added. I like to grind my own either at the store or using my food processor at home. That way, I know there is nothing added.

    Variations for Keto Thai Peanut Sauce:

    • If you aren't avoiding gluten, soy sauce may be used in place of the tamari.
    • A brown sugar substitute like Surkin Gold may be used in place of the Swerve.
    • Apple Cider Vinegar may be used in place of the rice vinegar.
    • Add in ¼ cup finely diced onion.

      I wasn't sure about trying this recipe simply because there weren't any reviews. However, I thought the ingredients looked good, so I gave it a shot. O...M...G... This was DELICIOUS!!! I made it with a keto Asian stir fry recipe with chicken, and my husband and I both had to have two bowls. This peanut sauce absolutely made the dish!! Thank you, thank you for this recipe! It's an absolute keeper!!! XO
