FAQ

Can I make peanut sauce ahead of time?

Yes. Peanut sauce stores well in the refrigerator for up to five days and reheats beautifully.

Is this peanut sauce spicy?

It has a gentle warmth from the Black Garlic Hot Honey and sweet chilli sauce. You can easily make it milder or spicier by adjusting the quantities.

Can I use smooth peanut butter?

Absolutely. Smooth peanut butter creates a silkier sauce, while crunchy peanut butter adds extra texture.

Can I freeze peanut sauce?

Yes. Freeze in small portions for up to two months. Stir well after reheating as slight separation may occur.

Why add Black Garlic Hot Honey?

Black Garlic Hot Honey adds a unique combination of gentle heat, sweetness and rich umami that gives this peanut sauce more depth than traditional recipes.

Chef's Tips

  • If the sauce becomes too thick, whisk in a splash of warm water or coconut cream.
    Crunchy peanut butter adds extra texture, while smooth peanut butter creates a silkier sauce.
  • For extra spice, add a pinch of chilli flakes or a little more Hot Black Honey.
  • A squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving brightens the flavours beautifully.
