Satay sauce is a popular condiment originating from Southeast Asia, particularly associated with Indonesian and Malaysian cuisines. It is primarily made from ground peanuts, which give it a rich, nutty flavor. The sauce often includes ingredients like soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and chili, creating a balance of sweet, salty, and spicy tastes. This versatile sauce is commonly served with grilled meats, such as satay, which are skewered and cooked over an open flame. It can also be used as a dip for vegetables or as a dressing for salads, making it a favorite in various dishes across different cultures.
