Is Thai Peanut Sauce bad for you? ›

While Thai Peanut Sauce is one of the most delicious sauces on the planet, it's not normally paired with the word "healthy". Most peanut sauces contain loads of sugar and coconut milk or cream, resulting in a sauce that's high in fat and calories.

First of all, substitute the peanut butter with either cashew butter (my personal first choice) or if you have tree nut allergies or sensitivities, use sunflower seed butter instead. The popular brand is Sunbutter and they have both an organic version as well as an unsweetened version.

Thai Peanut Sauce is made up of peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger, a sweetener (I used maple syrup), rice wine vinegar, sesame seeds, a spice and water. In some more traditional versions, coconut milk is used instead of water, but I find this combination to be perfect.

Traditional Thai cuisine is quite healthy and largely based on vegetables, lean proteins, and fresh herbs and spices. Certain Thai dishes are high in refined carbs and may contain deep-fried foods, added sugar, or high amounts of salt.

Although commonly associated with Thai cuisine, peanut sauce actually originated in Indonesia (source). What Americans know as peanut sauce is more commonly referred to as satay sauce (or bumbu kacang) in Indonesia, because it's most often served with the popular Indonesian dish, satay (skewered, grilled meats).

Satay sauce is a slightly spicy peanut sauce. While it's popularly associated with Thai cuisine, it's enjoyed throughout Southeast Asia and has Indonesian roots. It's best known as the sauce for satay, a tasty appetizer of marinated meat (often chicken, pork, or beef) grilled on a skewer.

Simply keep it in a cool, dark place. Generally, an unopened bottle of peanut sauce will last about a year if it's stored correctly. While it's a good idea to keep the “use by” date in mind, it's usually just fine for a few months after that date. Once the bottle is opened, you'll need to keep it in the refrigerator.

Satay is high in protein and fat. Can satay be a high-protein, moderately fattening alternative in the food court? Satay is high in protein because it is mainly meat. It is also high in fat, especially saturated fat, from the blended vegetable oil and fatty meat parts used for its preparation.
