Thai Peanut Sauce

I have always loved Chinese Food but since cutting Dairy out of my diet I have learned to love it even more! The Chinese cook with minimal to no dairy because a high percentage of the population in China is Lactose Intolerant.

You can read more about this in a book called THE CHINA STUDY by Dr. Campbell. It changed my life: the way I look at, prepare, and consume food.

Anyways on to this amazing recipe that my husband and I could eat several times a month.


Thai Peanut Sauce:

2 TBS low sodium soy sauce
1 TBS lemon juice
1 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 red pepper flakes (or more depending on spice)
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup hot water

In small bowl, whisk together all ingredients and bring to a simmer over medium heat until mixture thickens.

We pour this over rice, veggies, chicken, etc. Often we double it because it is just that good! :)
