Can I leave out the spices

Yes, you can leave out the spices if you prefer or even use different spices. This recipe is very adaptable to any palate…just another reason why it’s one of my favourites.

If you choose to leave out the ground coriander and ground cumin, the flavours become less Asian and the peanut flavours become the main focus. No matter how you choose to make this recipe, or what spices you prefer, this sauce turns out amazing every time.

I like crunchy peanut butter. Can I use that instead?

Yes, you absolutely can. Crunchy peanut butter works just as well in this recipe…the sauce will just be a little less creamy and have that added peanut crunch. I sometimes also like to use half crunchy peanut butter and half creamy peanut butter just to give the sauce some extra crunch when I use it in salads.
