Peanut dipping sauce has its roots in Far Eastern cuisine, especially in countries like Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia, where peanuts are a fundamental ingredient in many preparations. Traditionally, this sauce is used to accompany dishes like satay, which are marinated and grilled meat skewers. In Latin America, this sauce is known by different names, depending on the country: in Mexico it is called "salsa de cacahuate", in Colombia it is common as "salsa de maní", while in Peru the latter name is also used. The versatility of this sauce allows it to be adapted to various accompaniments, from seafood to vegetables, highlighting the unique and creamy flavor of peanuts combined with the salty touch of soy sauce and the spiciness of chili.
