I’m Loving:

  • Satay sauce is the base for the chicken marinade too, thread the chicken and cook until tender with strong grill marks

Servings: 10 2 tablespoon portions; makes:1 1/4 cup
Prep: 10 minutes
Total: 10 minutes
Sunflower Satay Sauce ~ for Noodles and Grilled Chicken Skewers (Peanut-Free)
Asian-Style Satay Sauce made with Sunflower Seed Butter for a nutty-sweet flavor, yet NUT FREE. Easy blended sauce for Noodles and Grilled Chicken Skewers. Top with Sunflower Seeds and Sunflower Sprouts!

Ingredients 

  • 1 inch piece ginger, peeled (about 1 T. chopped)
  • 2 large fresh garlic cloves, chopped (about 1T. + 1/2 t.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried hot red chiles, crushed
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce, or tamari sauce (gluten-free if desired)
  • 2 tablespoons tahini sauce
  • 5 tablespoons filtered water, warm (more if neccessary)
  • 1/2 teaspoon molasses, look for “organic”
  • 1/2 cup Sunflower Butter, look for “organic”

Instructions 

Sunflower Satay Sauce:

  • Place first eight ingredients in a small food processor. Pulse to combine, then run until you have a smooth paste – a little chunky is fine. Add the Sunflower Butter, pulse to combine, then run until just combined. Add 1 extra tablespoon of water if you like a thinner sauce.
  • Serve sauce at room temperature. Store in a clean glass container in the refrigerator. Will stay fresh for up to 3 weeks.

To Serve over Cooked Noodles:

  • I like Organic Round Soba Noodles or Gluten Free Rice Noodles.
  • Toss 2 cups cooked al dente noodles with 2 teaspoons of Sesame Oil. Add 4 – 6 tablespoons of Sunflower Satay Sauce and mix well.
  • Garnish with a drizzle of Extra Sauce, 2 tablespoons Sunflower Seeds and 1/4 cup Sunflower Sprouts (they're delicious!) Add Julienned Vegetables for a crispy and healthy touch. Try cucumbers and multi-colored carrots.

Grilled Chicken Skewers:

  • Add chicken to a plate or bowl to hold. Add all marinade ingredients and mix in to combine.
    Method: For 1 1/4 pounds Chicken Tenderloins (tendons removed) cleaned and dried – ADD Marinade:  2 teaspoons Soy Sauce, 2 teaspoons Sesame Oil, 2 tablespoon Sunflower Satay Sauce and 1 teaspoon each – minced Garlic & Ginger.
    Cover and refrigerate 2 hours.
  • Thread each tenderloin on a skewer – soaked bamboo, or metal skewer. Grill on a preheated, hot grill, turning until nice grill marks appear, and cooked through.
  • Garnish with a good drizzle of Sunflower Satay Sauce, a sprinkle of Sunflower Seeds and Sliced Scallions.
  • For a Vegan Meal: use above marinade on Firm Tofu, and grill; serve with sauce on the side. Serve with Noodles with Sunflower Satay Sauce and with Julienned Vegetables.
