Asian Veggies with Peanut Sauce

I was really craving some peanut sauce tonight and I just so happened to have some edamame, sugar snap peas and snow peas that needed to be used, so here’s what I did.

1/2 c. rice wine vinegar
1/2 c. soy sauce
4 Tablespoons sweet chile sauce
2 Tablespoons Toasted Sesame Oil
Zest of one lime
juice of one lime
1/2 c. of smooth peanut butter

Sugar snap peas
snow peas
edamame

Prepare the vegetables. If they’re all fresh, just blanch them till they’re bright green and then then shock them in cold water and set aside.

Combine the vinegar, soy sauce, chile sauce, oil, zest and juice in a mixing bowl. Whisk well and then add 1/2 cup of peanut butter. Don’t panic. It will look like your sauce will never combine, but it will, I promise. Just keep whisking until your ingredients are completely combined.

Here’s where I made my mistake… I poured the sauce over the vegetables and then served them on the side of the grilled chicken and couscous.

It was terrific, but I think next time, I’ll put the veggies, couscous and chicken on the plate and then drizzle the sauce over everything.  A small change, but I think it will make it even better!

  2. So jealous – that looks delicous, but I know that 3 out of the other 4 members of my family wouldn’t even attempt to try it. Big Sigh! Maybe in 15 years.
