Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: In an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in a pot/pan over a low heat until piping hot or in the microwave. You may need to add some water to loosen the sauce.
To Freeze: I wouldn’t recommend freezing this recipe.
Tip 1: You can opt for smooth or crunchy peanut butter, whatever you have/prefer.
Tip 2: If you love spicy dishes then you could add in freshly chopped chilli or even chilli flakes to taste.
