🔥 How to Make the Perfect Satay Sauce
Mix – Combine MyBlueTea Satay powder with water and oil in a small saucepan. Stir well to remove lumps.
Cook – Place over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens to a rich, creamy consistency (follow exact timing on your pack).
Add texture (optional) – Stir in crushed peanuts for extra crunch and nuttiness.
Or sesame seeds / pine nuts for those with peanut allergy.
Next level umami – For a truly unforgettable satay sauce, add 1 can of chopped pineapple (including the juice). Simmer for 2–3 minutes to let the sweet-tangy flavour melt into the spices. 🍍
Taste & adjust – Add a splash of water if too thick, or simmer longer if too thin. Balance with a pinch of salt or a drizzle of honey if desired. 🍍🥜💚
