Thai Style Peanut Sauce
Peanut sauce is yum. Plain and simple.
Its sweet, salty, fragrant and thick gingeriness always brings me comfort. It's yum.
It's commonly served in Thai restaurants with grilled satays, and a sweet cucumber salad. It's also quite tasty mixed with chilled noodles, for a peanutty pasta salad! Slap some grilled shrimp on a pile of chilled peanut pasta salad, garnish with a few cilantro sprigs and everyone in the neighborhood will come running!
It can be used as the base for curries. It's great mixed with a little more lime juice and peanut oil and used as a salad dressing! Serve it with grilled veggies or as the spread on a funky chicken sandwich!
It's very easy to make and just take a few minutes. Simply fry the garlic, ginger and curry paste for a moment. Add the remaining ingredients, simmer, stir, season and serves roughly eight 1-oz. servings! Yum.
