Answers:
Spicy Peanut Sauce
2 tb cilantro; fresh chopped
3 tb water; warm
3 tb chunky peanut butter; room
-temperature
1 ts brown sugar
1/4 ts red pepper flakes; crushed
1/2 ts soy sauce
This is straight from a Chinese cookbook...hope it helps!!!
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup beef stock or chicken stock, use 1 cube and 1 cup water if necessary
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Mix the cornstarch in the beef stock, then mix it all in a pan and heat up until thick. This is my basic recipe.
Generally I add a few pinches of red pepper flakes, and if I have it on hand I will substitute coconut milk for the beef broth and cornstarch.
Satay sauce isn't Chinese, it's Indonesian or Malaysian.
Sweat off grated garlic, root ginger in a little peanut oil. Add chopped chilis or dried chili flakes to taste. Add crunchy or smooth peanut butter and bring to the desired consistency by adding coconut milk. Easy!
