For the Satay Sauce you might want to add more peanut butter or coconut milk to your taste.
Coconut milk makes the taste of the Satay Sauce more smoother, but it makes it also sweeter.
When you are a peanut butter fan, then you should add a couple more tablespoons of peanut butter!
Are you ready to enjoy?
put the meat on 4 plates with rice and vegetables
spoon two tablespoons of Satay Sauce on top of meat
Yummy!
