What is Indonesian Peanut Sauce?

Although “satay sauce” is often used in the Netherlands, Indonesian cuisine features several types of peanut sauce. Each sauce has its own recipe, spices and uses.

Traditionally, different peanut sauces are used for satay, gado gado, pecel and lotek. Some varieties are creamy and mild, while others are spicy, peppery or slightly sweeter.

Many of these products are not ready-made sauces, but a boemboe (bumbu) or spice mix. Simply add boiling water to make an authentic Indonesian peanut sauce in just a few minutes. Depending on the recipe, you can also add coconut milk or oil for a richer flavour.
