Description
Chinese peanut sauce is a delicious sauce made of peanut butter and soy sauce. You can use it as a marinade or even make a pan sauce with it for cooking chicken.
Ingredients
Peanut Sauce:
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
Chinese Peanut Sauce Stir Fry
2 large chicken breasts, diced into cubes
2 tsp of olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup onion, diced
pinch of red pepper flakes
Cooked Spaghetti Noodles for serving
2 scallions, diced (0ptional)
Instructions
Peanut Sauce: Whisk the peanut butter, water, soy sauce, and sugar, in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
Peanut Sauce Stir Fry: In a nonstick skillet over medium heat add the olive oil. Add the onions and garlic to the pan and cook until heated through or soft; 2 to 3 minutes. Season with crushed red pepper flakes.
Add diced chicken to the pan and cook until the chicken is heated through. 4 to 6 minutes. The chicken is done when it is no longer pink in the middle. I usually take one chicken piece out and cut it to see if it is cooked.
Add the peanut sauce to the pan and continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes until everything is heated through.
If the sauce is too thick add small amounts of water until you like the consistency.
Serve with cooked noodles.
Serving Size: 3/4 cup of chicken with sauce
