Easy Spicy Cashew and Sesame Sauce

10th January 2016

Spicy Cashew Sesame Sauce 1 With only a block of tofu, half a cucumber, a head of broccoli and a handful of mange tout to work with for lunch today, I knew a tasty sauce would be the key to bringing it all together. Plus it gave me a good opportunity to brush the dust off my spiralizer (I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s been neglecting the courgetti lately…)

This sauce comes together quickly and simply with only six ingredients. I love the nutty, spicy Asian inspired flavour and it can be used to top bowls of noodles, rice, salads or even as a marinade for meat. I used cashew butter in favour of peanut butter here, simply because it’s creamier and therefore easier to mix into a sauce which can be drizzled, but peanut butter would taste just as good.

A quick and easy sauce, perfect for buddha bowls made with creamy cashew butter, sesame oil and a hint of spicy sriracha.

    I absolutely love the sound of this. Courgetti is a big favourite of mine and I'm trying to be a bit healthier so I definitely need to recreate this!

    […] the interest of changing it up, I went for a vegan alternative and used tofu, baked in my favourite Spicy Cashew and Sesame Sauce. It’s spicy, nutty and just a little bit sweet with plenty of added crunch from the sesame […]
