Yum! Just made this to have as a side with an Indonesian rendang. I only had rice wine vinegar handy so used that, and it turned out beautifully. Definitely going into our go-to recipe collection.
It was simple But finger licking good. It’s a go-to recipe for a simple weeknight dinner.
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?
This serves 2-3 people. Cashew would work, too but won’t taste the same.

I usually have peanut sauce with skewered grilled meat called Satay.
Is there alternative to replace the apple cidar vinegar? Can I not use the vinegar since is hard to find in my neighbourhood?
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.
Yes, that works, too. The ground peanut is just for garnishing actually. :)
This is such a great idea!
