Instructions

1
Add the peanut butter, coconut milk, red curry paste, apple cider vinegar, sugar and salt to a saucepan.
2
Set the saucepan over low heat and whisk the ingredients together quickly. Gentle heat prevents burning or separating.
3
Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth and all the ingredients are well combined. Add a splash more coconut milk for a thinner sauce, or less for a thicker one.
4
As soon as the peanut sauce starts to simmer and bubble, turn off the heat.
5
Transfer the sauce to a bowl and top with the ground peanuts. Taste and adjust sugar or salt as desired. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to a week.
