As a Dutchie I can confirm : bread with a simple satay sauce is not only delicious, over here it's one of the most common party snacks.

i love this because i feel like a lot of people, especially here in america, don’t realize how well peanut butter works in savory dishes

Gado-gado is one of my favorite salad you can make with peanut butter and coconut milk. Veggies + blanched beansprouts+ boiled potatoes+ fried tofu + boiled egg + shrimp cracker with gado gado dressing is heavenly.

Jalapeño, chicken stock, peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Great base for a soup.

I usually don't thin out peanut butter with water because it dilutes the flavor. Usually, I heat up the soy vinegar mixture to thin out the peanut butter.

Here in the Philippines, we have this meat and vegetables stew called kare-kare. If I remember it correctly, it's an adaptation of curry but it is distinct for using peanut butter as its base for the sauce. It's best eaten with shrimp paste. Go try it!

peanut butter is literally similar to tahini , seed paste! no wonder it works well in both savory and sweet

As a Filipino, I’m surprised Kare Kare didn’t end up on the list. It’s one of the first savory peanut butter dishes I was introduced to. I know ox-tails can be hard to find, but it’s a fairly easy dish and the vegetables that are commonly used with it pair well with the peanut flavor. Might be worth a shot!

In Mexico we have this sauce called encacahuatado, it’s most often served with chicken and it’s basically a lot of peanuts, some chiles, tomato and sometimes sesame paste. We use whole roasted peanuts but it would be cool to see an interpretation of it with peanut butter kind of like what you did with the satay sauce. Very good recipes!

Peanut butter is a basic for African cooking especially west african from savory dishes, to treats etc, also used as thickener, and ingredient in a number of dishes.

The peanut satay sauce is actually very versatile. Because it has such intense flavor, I always use them for salad, cold noodle, bread dipping or sometimes over rice! You can practically put it on everything!

idk why I'm watching this when I'm allergic to peanut butter but here we are

When I was in uni and couldn't afford much, I made Spicy Carrot, Peanut Butter and Chilli soup. The peanut butter added richness and made it taste more filling, and carrots are so cheap! I dipped a whole meal pitta in it, making an affordable and cozy winter meal 😋

West African peanut soup would have also been interesting

I will definitely do all 5. Videos like this are great for young learner cooks to get immediate sucesses. Salute

I LOVE making peanut noodles and came up with my own recipe using crunchy peanut butter, honey, sriracha, and lime juice. thats it! and its sooo good. I also add cucumber, carrot, green onions, cilantro, and curry chicken if i have it.

Dipping bread in sate sauce is so relatable 🤣 My fellow Indonesians might get freaked out if I do this in front of them, but, trust me, that left over sate sauce goes well with toast. Sometimes when I got tired of eating super crunchy kerupuk which made my jaw sore, I prefer toasting some white bread (don't use margarine on it) until it turned golden brown then dip it in leftover sate sauce from last night's dinner. Just don't forget to put in in the fridge then reheat it in the morning, or perhaps simply put it in a small container/bowl and put the bowl inside your rice cooker on warm mode. Super simple and delicious breakfast/snack.

I add peanut butter into my mapo tofu and it adds such a great nuttiness, creaminess and sweetness to it. Sort of gives off dan dan noodle vibes. It works SO WELL and it's SO GOOD!!

I've been making something like the 1st recipe for a decade now, it was a martha Stewart 'upgraded ramen' recipe when I found it. 2 Tablespoons of peanut butter and sriracha, 1 of soy sauce, added to cooked ramen noodles that have been drained. Highly recommend upping that to 3, 3, 2 - and including sauteed or dried (powder) version of garlic, ginger, paprika, and onion. Plus toasted sesame oil, gochujang, and scrambled eggs are great. Putting it on a bowl of fresh spinach or steamed broccoli is a healthy move. I could barely finish half a packet of ramen prepared this way. Make a huge batch of the peanut sauce in advance, refrigerate, and you can whip up a great meal in less than 5 minutes.

I'm so happy I found this video from a few months ago! I made the lovely simple peanut noodles, but I was out of chili oil so I used some Sichuan-style dou ban jang that I had open already and it was so divine! The fermented flavour and Sichuan peppercorn citrusy-numb sensation add so much depth to the dish, it feels like it should be far fancier and complicated than it is. My new favourite :)

Thanks for sharing these peanut butter noodle sauces. I have had Taiwanese cold noodles before and wanted to be able to make them myself as I don't always have access to them and have to travel to far. This is going to be great. Thanks again.

She Simmers has a great peanut sauce recipe that I've been making for years. Also recently, I've made 2 "curry" dishes with peanut butter, one Indian and one Moroccan. I've made Mexican mole with it. I have several other African recipes in my queue that use peanut butter, including a few soups. It's an amazingly versatile ingredient, and I'm feeling a bit like I've had this amazing ingredient in my house for years and have been wasting my time putting it on bread.

Hey inga! It's ironic you mentioned using this as a salad dressing because here in Sudan we actually have a peanut Butter salad and it's delicious! Check Beryl Shereshwesky's episode about peanut butter..she talked about it. Great episode as always ♥️

For us who can't have coconut milk, I've found that blended cashews soaked in water has the same flavour as coconut. Would work well with the peanut butter ;)

Made the peanut butter noodles before. Followed chinese cooking demystified's technique of frying the peanut butter in peanut oil to roast it a bit more till it's a darker brown before thinning it out with water and other condiments.

As someone who loves sweeter flavors in savory cooking, this is awesome! thank you!! Love the condiment series!

Heck yes! Love the chili nut sauce noodles! Cold noodles are fantastic as well! The other 3 I'll have to try.

One of the best videos ever. Can't articulate what was so satisfying about it, but I think exploring condiments is a wonderful idea. I've rewatched this a bunch of times and tried out the first recipe with Lao Gan Ma(my first time!) and Skippy. So good!

My condiment I want to see more of is coconut milk. You have an amazing knowledge of Asian cuisine - so if you could do a video explaining how to use them for savory dishes, that would be fantastic.

cant wait to try these! especially the hot peanut noodles and the satay one! Such a great video! thank you!

Great easy recipes w peanut butter! Thank you!!

This is a very inspiring video! I'm so excited to try all these recipes, I really like how they all seem very achievable for the timid chef.

I have been encouraged to make almost all these dishes here!!! So easy and looks amazing! 🤤

i am on my lunch breaking watching this, and my microwave ramen didn’t come with a soup packet- but i had a few different types of hot sauces and some spicy roasted and shelled peanuts, and i thought, hey why not, throw it all in. surprisingly good! not as yummy as what inga made, i’m sure, but still good!

I'm in love with satay sauce, so I'm SO excited to try this shortcut version!

They all look so good!

Yes to peanut butter and cilantro as a combo! I love to put peanut butter, cilantro and a fried egg on full grain toast! Perfect with a little hot sauce. Very easy and satisfying snack!

Love the first recipe, quick and easy, manageable even if you don't have a lot of time

i'm for sure gonna try cooking that braised pork rice recipe for dinner tomorrow! looks incredible!

Those all sound amazing!

I have made a spicy peanut sauce for noodles for my family once. I loved it and still make it for myself years later. My family wouldn't adjust to the fact of peanut butter as a savory dish.

I would love to see you try and use a Gochujang Korean chili paste or Dwenjang Korean soybean paste. It would be fun to see you experiment with strong flavored condiments that I feel people aren’t as familiar with.

Love that your exploring ways to cook with condiments! Peanut butter.. and ketchup! Can’t wait to see your next one 😄

I will try all this recipes cause I love PB and definitely love to use it for more then just my milkshakes in the mornings.

Thanks Inga!! I want to make all of these dishes now!

Kare-kare comes to mind immediately when talking about savory dishes using peanut butter. So delicious.

I have similar recipes to all of these except the hot noodle one and I can CONFIRM all of these taste amazing. PB is such a beautiful condiment!

Nice versions, I think taking a peak at how tahini is used is also a good starting point.

such great ideas for peanut butter

Wow, great!!

I loved hearing that you do that with the bread. When I make macaroni and cheese I purposely use less pasta than is required so that when the dish is done it has an extra layer of cheese sauce on the top. I will then stand at my stove with bread, deli ham and cooked potato putting pieces of these items on a fork and dipping them in that top layer of extra cheese sauce as if it is fondue and it is one of my favorite meals.

I never really enjoyed peanut butter in sweets but really love the satay sauce version we have here in the Philippines. Now, I have a lot more options on how to incorporate PB in savory dishes! ❤️🥜

so helpful!

celery with peanut butter inside is amazing

Going to try them all

A peanut noodle recipe I like similar to #1 adds two toppings: persian cucumbers with lime juice and fried tempeh. Which brings in the brightness and meatiness and makes it like a whole meal.

One of my favourite recipes is a savoury peanut butter toast... On a multigrain bread add a generous amount of caramelized onion top it with salt pepper n sriracha sauce... !!! You'll never go back after this

Yeah we do the same here with dipping the bread with satay sauce, you're doing fine there Inga!

I love peanut butter! Amazing video as always

been having a whole 100% peanuts peanut butter jar in my cupboard for month not knowing what to do with it… i needed this video

The braised pork dish reminded me a lot of Adam Ragusea's "weeknight pork mole" video. Sort of reverse engineering a dish by starting with knowing what you want it to taste like, and using different, less traditional ingredients and methods to get a similar result a little easier. I love it!

i could listen to her all day long what a beautiful voice just fell in love gosh haha

New sub. Will definitely be attempting the Brussels sprouts recipe

I want to try cooking the spicy peanut butter noodles but there’s a cockroach in my kitchen and I’m too afraid to go in

UM ALL OF THIS LOOKS AMAZING?!?!?!? Inga you’re my role model 🤩

An awesome Peruvian dish that uses peanut butter is Carapulcra”. It’s stew of pork or chicken (or both) with papa seca (dried potatoes) in a peanut butter (old version uses grounded peanuts) with Aji Panca chilli pepper paste.

I tried the spicy peanut butter noodles and the satay, they are so good! The satay is delicious, I also sprinkled over some chopped roasted peanuts and crispy onions to give it even more oomph 🥰 I also can't blame you whatsoever for just dipping bread in that sauce...

I recently started adding peanut butter and garlic chili sauce to ramen and it is so good!!!

I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER ADDED TO MY MEAL THANKS FOR SHARING

Inga is always inspiring! Thank you. I was also intimidated by satay, but I will definitely try your take on it, looks so yummy.

I love the peanut sauce that’s given with summer rolls 🥰 don’t know exactly what it is but complements it so well also with the chili sauce 😭

I made both the braised pork rice and spicy peanut butter noodles and they were both incredible. I made a pork topping like you would use for Dan Dan Noodles for the peanut butter noodles and definitely going to make both again. The peanut butter did provide a nuttiness to the braised pork and did accelerate the process, and it even reheats well in the microwave so I can use it for a work meal!

the problem with peanut butter is that peanut crops and cotton crops are rotated using the same crop field. However, cotton crops are heavily sprayed with glyphosate and after the cotton is harvested the cotton plants are plowed into the soil as fertilizer for the peanut plants and future cotton plants. Since peanuts grow underground, much of the glyphosate is absorbed into the peanuts themselves which makes ALL peanuts and peanut butter products cautionary! Knowing this I would use readily substitute Tahini (sesame) paste instead of peanut butter....

I love making Pra Ram whenever I'm in the mood for some peanut butter driven dishes :D

Inga’s first sauce is also an excellent homemade hot pot dipping sauce option 😉

Thanks for the video, Inga! Those all look delicious! For peanut noodles, I like using the 'NOLS Gado Gado' recipe. (For the sauce; I don't use ramen noodles. lol)

You can try adding around a tablespoon of minced/crushed pineapple into the satay sauce after the sauce is cooked (so it becomes like a yellow circle in the middle of the brown peanut sauce), it's quite common in Singapore satay sauce and it helps to cut the richness and gives another dimension of flavour.

The peanut butter chilli oil noodles are everything 🤩🤩🤩

How about mustard? There are so many types! Also, I am definitely trying that satay recipe 🤤

I tried the cold noodles and oh boy IT IS GOOD! It almost taste like gado-gado but super light and refreshing ❤️ 🍜

Inga! I made 2 of these today! The peanut butter noodles and the braised pork rice! They were delicious! I'd highly recommend adding green onions and some roasted peanuts to the braised pork. Amazing! ❤

I have a ton of eating restrictions because of chronic illness, and I started making spicy peanut noodles (of my own variety) because my list of what I could eat was so limited. One thing I did differently was instead of hot water I used a milk substitute (either rice milk or almond milk) to mix with the sauce which made it far creamier than water. It gave the sauce a bit more of a creamy macaroni and cheese consistency which was really, really good.

definetely try out the noodles, you can also just use pasta, at least i like that version best by now. I tweaked my version to my preference: 1st: exchange 1/3 of the peanut butter with tahina/sesame paste - much more complex flavour highly recommend balancing it out with grated ginger, garlic, and some acid like lime then a fried/soft boiled egg+ scallions +whatever vegetables you got

Now this is an episode!

I cook a large amount of peanut butter (1/2 c) in my Pad Thai. It's so good!

i use the peanut saus (satay sauce) for almost everything. feench friece, bbq , fried rice. it is used a lot in the Netherlands.

When I was young, I was thought a simple satay recipe. It's just peanut butter, milk, sambal oelek and garlic powder. Been making that for years and it's a hit at every BBQ I go to😁

Kare-Kare (a Filipino style of oxtail stew with veggies, in a garlicy peanut butter sauce, garnished with salted shrimp paste) and served over rice, I believe, really deserves to be explored.

Thai people usually dip toasted white bread with satay sauce. You’re eating it the right way! Good sense!

I love peanut butter and definitely gonna make these dishes

I wish you had tried Sudanese peanut butter salad, it is very simple and tastes really good with fresh pita bread

My favourite food combo ever is peanut butter and chocolate but I'm up to trying using peanut butter in savory dishes as well😋

In Thailand there's a dish call Pra ram long srong (meaning as Rama take a bath) it is a rice dish serve with thinly boiled pork, water spinach, chilli oil and satay sauce. i'm not sure where it came from but another chinese name is Satay rice.

In southern India, powdered roasted peanuts are used as a base for many chutneys which can be eaten with rice/chapathi. Using peanut butter (without sugar if possible), is my substitute in case I don't have time. The base of all chutneys is roasted peanuts, salt, blistered green chillies, listed garlic and tamarind paste finely blended... this can be eaten as is. It is generally a base for sauteed veg like tomato, spinach, fresh mint, ridge gourd, ivy gourd, etc. Top it with some tempering and cilantro

Love ur way of thinking! Totally subscribed! Do u know how to make the dumpling dipping sauce? Would love ur home-made take on this particular recipe. Thanx!

Peanut + long beans tastes heavenly! In Indonesia, we have these dishes named Gado-gado from Surabaya, Pecel from Madiun, Karedok and Lotek from Bandung using long beans as their component and peanut as their sauce base. Comes with different consistencies, all of these sauces deliver goodness to the long beans into tummy.

Ooo! Ooo! Do Lingham's Hot Sauce! I like to drizzle it on a naan pizza (with some pesto & olive oil for good measure) along with standard ingredients. Also really nice with a roasted/grilled chicken (add guacamole/avocado, lime)

Great video!

The noodles can be upgraded easily with garlic, ginger and some miso paste. Anyways, fun video enjoyed it a lot

I add peanut butter and a bit of noodle water to my indomie mi goreng noodles, it is exquisite!! awesome way to make a cheap meal taste so fancy
