This incredibly delicious peanut
sauce recipe (also sometimes called satay sauce, Thai peanut
|
|
|
|
sauce, bumbu kacang or sambal
kacang) serves as a fabulous dipping sauce for a variety of
foods, including
chicken, pork, spring rolls and more, and can also be used as a salad dressing. Peanut Sauce is commonly used in
Indonesia, Malaysia, Thiland, Vietnam, China and Africa, and
can vary in flavor and strength of spiciness. This peanut
sauce recipe is mildly spicy, though can be made spicier
simply by adding a little extra chili garlic sauce (see
recipe). The ingredients for this richly-colored sauce
feature smooth peanut butter, soy sauce, freshly squeezed
lime juice, rice vinegar, a little brown sugar, and the two
Asian spices that give this sauce a bit of a kick - chili
oil |
|
and chili garlic sauce.
