peanut sauce

Thai noodle topping

Peanut sauce is a savory condiment made from ground peanuts or peanut butter, typically blended with ingredients like soy sauce, garlic, lime, and chili.

It appears in Southeast Asian cuisines—Thai satay, Indonesian gado-gado, Vietnamese spring rolls—and has become a staple dipping sauce and noodle dressing in Western cooking: The chicken satay comes with peanut sauce.
