How to Make Nam Jim Satay Thai Peanut Sauce
- If using peanut butter, measure 1 cup smooth peanut butter and set aside. Skip to step 4.
- If using raw peanuts, measure 1 cup raw peanuts and grind or crush them into a fairly fine powder using a food processor or mortar and pestle.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the ground peanuts (or peanut butter) with 1/4 cup fish sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon massaman curry paste, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
- Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of warm chicken stock, whisking constantly until you achieve your desired consistency. If using peanut butter, add less stock.
- Stir in an additional 1-2 tablespoons of lime juice, tasting frequently and adjusting to your preferred level of tartness and sweetness.
- If making shrimp satay, reduce the massaman paste to 1/2 tablespoon.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
