Fancy 20 step recipes in many cookbooks often underwhelm. And after you’ve tasted the finished 4 hour long recipe don’t you feel so gipped? Like man I could have spent that time taking a nap.
Have no fear, take your nap, maybe waste some time online shopping for a pair of shoes you don’t need, and then spare ten minutes to make this Slacker Peanut Sauce.
Serve over a beautiful rainbow of veggies and brown rice. Or whatever suits your fancy. I just ate the sauce with veggies cuz I didn’t feel like making rice.

Slacker Peanut Sauce
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup pb
1/2 onion, grated
1 garlic clove, grated
1 inch ginger root, grated
2 Tbs soy sauce
2 tsp sugar
generous pinch cayenne
Step one: Grate the onion, garlic, and ginger.

Step two: Saute the onion, garlic, ginger for 2 minutes.

Step 3: Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to boil. Remove from heat.

Don’t be fooled by its looks folks. This stuff is liquid gold. Only tastier.
I sauteed my veggies for about 5 minutes with a splash of water.

Remove veggies from pan, add Slacker Peanut Sauce on top, eat with chopsticks.

Feeling extra slackery? Use a fork. Mmmmm.

Yummmm I’ll be trying this! I love peanut sauce but never seem to get it quite right when I try to make it without a recipe.

that sounds delicious. i love that it only takes ten minutes because i really like napping…and online shoe shopping. i like the idea of the grated onion in it, seems like it would give lots of flavor! this is a great summer recipe–no cooking!!

What would be the substitute for peanut butter because I have a peanut allergy?
Try almond butter or cashew butter. But definitely make sure beforehand to see whether those nut butters will give you a bad reaction.

I totally agree about those 20-step recipes often being a disappointment!
However, your one-step peanut sauce recipe looks absolutely perfect… yay!
