Peanut sauce stands as one of Malaysia’s signature culinary delights, cherished for its association as a dip for the iconic satay. This delectable sauce is a familiar and beloved flavour, synonymous with the rich tapestry of Malaysian night markets and satay stalls. Regrettably, numerous renditions of peanut sauce lack authenticity in both taste and ingredients, primarily stemming from the common practice of incorporating peanut butter which is a departure from the traditional method of crafting. For a robust nutty taste and texture, the use of whole crushed peanuts is an absolute necessity. 

While traditionally known as a dip, its versatility extends far beyond. Elevate your culinary experience by using it as a sauce to enhance proteins, tofu, or veggies. Explore its potential as a stellar marinade, a delightful salad dressing, or simply stir it into plain noodles for an instant burst of flavour. The possibilities are as varied as your imagination!
