Many people love Thai peanut sauce, we just can’t get enough of it when we have Thai chicken sate.
I am one of them. A good peanut sauce is actually very easy to make and I can usually make a batch of it in less than 15 minutes, with really simple ingredients.
The only special ingredient you need to buy is Thai red curry paste, which is rather easy to get these days at any Asian stores or online.
Peanut sauce makes everything tastes so much better. Drizzle it on chicken, beef, seafood, vegetables or beans, and you will have a wonderful and delicious dish that the entire family loves.
I love green beans so one of of my favorite green bean recipes is this quick and easy green bean with peanut sauce that is super easy to make and goes so well with other dishes and steamed rice.
All you have to do is saute and cook the green beans with some oil and garlic. And once the green beans are cooked just add the peanut sauce on top. So yummy!
Learn how to make this green beans with peanut sauce recipe at home, spice up your palate and add new flavors to your dining table. I am sure you will love it.

I tried this peanut sauce recipe – way too much vinegar for my taste – had to make a second batch – used 2 teaspoons of vinegar instead.

What kind of vinegar do you use. Some vinegar are stronger and very sharp.

1605 Legion St Just curious how many servings and would cashews work?
Rasa Malaysia
This serves 2-3 people. Cashew would work, too but won’t taste the same.

Is there alternative to replace the apple cidar vinegar? Can I not use the vinegar since is hard to find in my neighbourhood?
Rasa Malaysia
You can skip it or use lemon juice.

What is Thai red curry paste as in your Green beans with peanut sauce recipe? Do you have a picture of it?

Rather than creamy peanut butter + ground peanut, I just use crunchy style. Saves time chopping nuts.
Rasa Malaysia
Yes, that works, too. The ground peanut is just for garnishing actually. :)
