Mudgeeraba Spices Sambal Kachang Satay Paste — More Than Just a Satay Sauce

What Is Sambal Kachang Satay Paste?

If you’ve ever stood at a hawker stall in Malaysia or Singapore and watched someone ladle a rich, nutty, golden peanut sauce over perfectly grilled chicken skewers, you already know what all the fuss is about. That sauce — deeply aromatic, slightly sweet, with a gentle warmth that builds beautifully — is satay sauce, and it all starts with a great sambal kachang paste.

Mudgeeraba Spices Sambal Kachang Satay Paste is our authentic take on this South-East Asian classic, made with real crushed peanuts (41%), cayenne chilli, galangal, apple cider vinegar and a carefully balanced blend of aromatics. No artificial colours, no preservatives — just genuine flavour made with love right here in Queensland.


The Mudgeeraba Spices Sambal Kachang Satay Paste Ingredients

Every jar of Mudgeeraba Spices Sambal Kachang Satay Paste contains:

  • Peanuts (41%) — the hero ingredient, providing that rich, creamy, nutty base
  • Sugar — balancing the heat and acidity for a beautifully rounded flavour
  • Cayenne Chilli — a gentle, warming heat that builds without overwhelming
  • Olive Oil — for a smooth, luxurious texture
  • Apple Cider Vinegar — adding a subtle tang that lifts all the other flavours
  • Onion Powder — depth and savouriness
  • Sea Salt — enhancing everything naturally
  • Garlic Powder — aromatic and essential
  • Galangal — the distinctly South-East Asian ingredient that gives this paste its authentic character

No nasties. No fillers. Just real ingredients doing delicious things.
