I thought it was "ok". I would add palm sugar next time. Perhaps a little bit of shrimp paste. I had it with satay chicken over noodles. Sprinkled the cilantro over the noodles.

Changes: used 1/2 c. crunchy PB, no cream, full can of coconut milk, and didn't quite have enough lime juice (maybe 2 tbl)Only used 1/2 of sauce for dinner for 2, and warmed up on stove with a little cornstarch to thicken. Cooked up some chicken and rice noodles. Next time probably wouldn't add quite as much hot sauce. I really liked the flavor, but my sweetie said it could of been a little sweeter.

I changed so much in the recipe but it still deserves five stars because I wouldn't even have attempted it with seeing this first. I mostly followed the directions except, used only a 1/2 cup of peanut butter, no water, regular milk and a fat pinch of shredded coconut, red pepper instead of hot sauce. I also added honey and brown sugar to taste - I wanted that sweet-hot taste. (I put the sauce in the the microwave for a minute to soften and make it easier to stir.) All the substitutions were because of what I had on hand. Next I sauted the garlic and ginger in olive oil and added cut up chicken and sliced carrots. After the pasta was done, I drained it, added it to the chicken pan, mixed a little, then added the peanut sauce and mixed again and served. This was awesome! My husband loved it, the kids kind of liked it but I think I made it a little too spicey for them. Overall, a great reciped to use however you would like. Thanks Stephanie!

A most excellent recipe! It really needs the whole tablespoon of tabasco (if not more) for the extra kick. I use lite coconut milk and crunchy peanut butter. I also use more cilantro than it calls for. This is quite thick. You just need to add more water (or coconut milk) to thin it.

Thank you Stephanie! This is out of this world. Didn't change a thing. Served it with "Thai Chicken Satay" from this site. Slathered the cooked satay with this sauce and sprinkled with chopped peanuts. Placed a small bowl of additional sauce on each plate for dipping. Oh my, so good! Also served "Asian Coconut Rice" and "Barbequed Pineapple", both from this site. Wonderful meal. Can't wait to make it again for visiting relatives this summer. Don't know what I would do without All Recipes!

i love the sauce as is and added my twist to suit our taste. i did not have fish sauce so i used shrimp sauce. i like cilantro, so i used the stalks and cut them into bits for that punch of taste and texture. finally, i added lime skin, grated for that punch of lime. microwave for a minute and i was ready to go.

This was an excellent peanut sauce! I also followed many people's advice and scaled way back on the amount of peanut butter (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup). Also used crunchy peanut butter to add some texture and authenticity to the mix. I like mine a little bit spicier so I also added cayenne pepper and a bit more than the recommended hot sauce. Also, combined this with Spicy Grilled Shrimp (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Spicy-Grilled-Shrimp/Detail.aspx) and some rice noodles. Made for an excellent dish!!

I love the ingredients! I had to improvise with quantity and with what ingredients I had on hand. I used a couple tablespoons of regular milk and added a couple tablespoons of shredded coconut instead of coconut milk and used cayenne pepper instead of hot sauceI only had dried cilantro and I always opt for crunchy peanut butter. I had to omit the fish oil and it was still great! I mix in shredded chicken and top a pizza crust with it or put the mixture in wonton wrappers and fry them up. Dip in thai style chili sauce or duck sauce!

this was just not for me. too peanut buttery, not enough sweet & spicy flavor for me. i ended up adding 3x the coconut milk, 1/4 c. sugar, and 1/2 c. sweet thai chili sauce, in additon to 2 full T. grated ginger and no water. then it was delicious!!

I've used this recipe many times and it is wonderful. I do a chicken satay and once the peanut sauce is combined, I portion out about 1/2 a cup of it and brush the chicken with it on the grill to infuse some of that wonderful flavor during the cooking process. The key to the thickness is a little bit of heating. Pop the sauce in the microwave and heat for about 10 seconds to get a thinner consistency. You can use chunky peanut butter also. I served this with Sesame Noodles also on this site. This is the best Thai peanut sauce because you can adjust many of the flavors in this recipe to taste without ruining it. It makes a lot of sauce so either plan a party with a satay platter or be prepared to refridgerate the unused portion.

This peanut sauce is far too thick as written. I added a LOT more coconut milk and then had to adjust all of the other ingredients accordingly. I'm freezing some of this sauce for another family, so decided to add the cilantro later rather than mixing it in to keep it fresh-tasting. Servicable flavor, unfortunate texture, sorry. Thanks for letting me try it!

This recipe was fabulous! I accidentally put in three times the amount of ginger but it's still delightful anyway. Next time I think I would add more coconut milk as mine turned out very very thick and I'd like something that would be a little more saucy. But taste . . . peanut heaven.

*Update* to my *Update* I made this again recently and while I was making it realized I'd done something, well.. odd. I had doubled every ingredient except the PB. So, yeah, I've got to re-star this, and I'm sorry to do so. But double everything else but the PB and you may find a BIG keeper in your recipe box. Old review follows: This recipe is a fantastic jumping-off point. I prefer chili paste to what "I" consider hot sauce (to us, that's Tabasco) so I used chili paste (sriracha would work well also). Mine was thick - good for a dipping sauce, but I thinned it out a bit with extra coconut milk to serve over rice noodles & leftover baked chicken. Oh, and chopped some peanuts in the food processor for the top. Just fantastic. I will ALWAYS keep coconut milk on hand now. AND my picky/Irish traditional husband loved it. One tip on using fresh ginger - toss it into a freezer bag and freeze it before grating, it goes much easier.

This recipe is nearly worthless as written. It is WAY too thick and WAY too peanut buttery - it just tastes like barely watered down peanut butter. The good thing is it's easy to play around with and improve. I doubled the ginger, lime juice, soy sauce (low sodium), and coconut milk (lite), added some lime zest, copious amounts of chile garlic sauce, and several tablespoons of hoisin sauce, chucked in about a full cup of chopped cilantro, and thinned it with additional water. That made for a finger-licking good peanut sauce. I served it over whole wheat spaghetti with tender-crisp veggies (bell pepper, snap peas, scallions, broccoli) and pan fried tofu squares.

A bit thick for my liking, so I added water to thin it out. Also, I personally think it could use more spice, so I added more hot sauce.
