EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If fresh pea pods aren’t available, you can use a package of frozen pea pods. Just place in a colander and run under warm water to quickly thaw them.

Most purchased peanut sauces are very spicy so we have added a little ground red pepper for a mild heat level in this homemade sauce. If your family likes very hot spicy food, add a little extra red pepper, or a few crushed red pepper flakes.
