Peanut Sauce!

[FreakerSoup]

I had my first whiff of Thai peanut sauce a while ago and I'm addicted. Does anyone have recipes for this? I need to make it in bulk and keep about 5 gallons on hand at all times.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup peanut butter (always, always unsweetened !!)
1/2 cup coconut milk (canned is fine)
1/2 teaspoon garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh red chili (one fresh Thai chili, usually)
1 tablespoon fish sauce, "nuoc mam"
2 spring onions, sliced

Directions:

Stir ingredients together and heat to allow flavors to marry. Do not boil. Serve with dumplings or noodles, or as a dressing for cold chicken and noodle salad, and of course as a dipping sauce for satay.

yeggghhhh oh my god I can't get enough of that stuff. :D Teepi, that recipe sounds greaaaat. I'm a satay sauce fiend. I eat it with everything. ahah On stirfry, I dip veggies in it.. gahhhhh. so good.

I have a slightly more domesticated recipe I use.. Haha. It's wicked easy.

Ingredients

1/2 cup peanut butter (make it crunchy!)
1 garlic clove minced or 1 tsp garlic salt/powder
A few shakes of red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
salt and pepper( to taste.. a few light shakes will do)

Then, just put it all in a bowl, stick it in the microwave for 35 seconds or so, then mix it all up.

Or, you could do it stovetop too, works just the same.
