2. Add Coconut Milk and Peanut Butter: Pour in the coconut milk and add the peanut butter to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the peanut butter melts and blends smoothly with the coconut milk.

3. Incorporate Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the cayenne pepper, oyster sauce, and squeeze in the juice of the lime. Continue to stir until all ingredients are well combined and the sauce begins to thicken.

4. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for a few minutes until it reaches a thicker consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

5. Combine with Meatballs: If using pre-cooked meatballs (such as Costco’s), gently add them to the sauce. Coat the meatballs evenly with the sauce and let them simmer on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

6. Serve: Once heated through and well-coated, serve the meatballs with the sauce hot as a main dish or arrange them as an appetizer for your next gathering.

Tips

• Adjust Heat: Depending on your spice tolerance, you can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your preference.
• Storage: Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve Rene’s Sate Sauce Meatballs over steamed rice for a satisfying meal.
