    FAQ

    Where did peanut satay sauce come from?

    Bumbu kacang (peanut sauce) seems to have originated in Indonesia1, but many cultures have their own version of peanut sauce. This particular recipe is actually closer to a Thai version, which is sweeter.

    What can you eat with peanut satay sauce?

    I love it on a noodle bowl like this one, but you can also use it as a salad dressing or as a dip for chicken or vegetable skewers.

    What does satay mean?

    A satay is "a Southeast Asian food consisting of small pieces of meat or fish cooked on a stick, and served with a spicy peanut sauce."2
