# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under an hour and tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen.
  • Every component can be prepped ahead, so busy weekdays feel less overwhelming.
  • The peanut sauce is genuinely addictive—the kind you'll find yourself drizzling on everything.
02 -
  • Don't prepare the avocado until right before serving—it oxidizes quickly and turns brown, which affects both looks and taste.
  • The peanut sauce thickens as it cools, so make it slightly thinner than you think you want it; you can always adjust before serving.
03 -
  • Toast your peanuts lightly in a dry pan before chopping them—it intensifies their flavor and makes the crunch more satisfying.
  • Warm the lime juice slightly before whisking it into the sauce; it helps the peanut butter emulsify more smoothly and creates a silkier texture.
