Heat the oil in a wok and fry the garlic, onion and chilli over a moderate heat until onion is soft. Add the sugar and stir until slightly caramelised. Add the soy sauce and peanut butter and stir through. Add a little coconut milk at a time until you achieve your desired consistency. Tastes best served immediately but also refrigerates and re-heats very well.

I added about double the amount of peanut butter. 2 tablespoons had mine looking way too runny and not peanutty enough. With that tweak, it was yum as!
This has been a go to recipe for me for years now. It is quick, easy, and I can add pretty much whatever is left in my fridge too it. Perfect as a mid week meal or to make and freeze for later. It is also really easy to customize it to your tastes.
Yummy my kids loved the spicy sauce with chicken!
Yummy tastes gorgeous and so easy to make! Quite sweet so added a little extra soy sauce to taste at the end. Also didn't have a fresh red chilli so missed that off but has a big enough kick with just the chilli flakes.
What size / measurement can of coconut milk?
I just made this - so EASY to make and tastes delicious. I did a x 4 batch (meaning instead of 1 Tablespoon I used 4 Tbl) as I'm cooking for 40, and I left out the chilli flakes. I only needed just under 1 can 400ml (14 fl oz) of coconut milk to achieve consistency - fantastic! HIGHLY recommend
I loved this satay sauce - tried it out yesterday with some friends and got lots of praise for how it tasted brilliant.
Made this recipe tonight - didn't use the chilli so the kids would eat it, and only used about half a can of light coconut cream - it was wonderful! Very very yummy.
This sauce was real easy to make and tastes great. Made our bbq just great!! Chicken and mushroom kebab skewers smothered in this as a dipping sauce was just brill it has a little kick and adding more chillis just spices it up more.
