Peanut Sauce

Normaone's Note:

Peanut sauce is one of my favorite yummy things. It's great on just about anything-pasta, pork, chicken. My husband says it would make cardboard taste good! It's very versatile, easy to make and inexpensive.

This is a great recipe for many reasons: simple to prepare, great tasting, versatile uses and most of all no "exotic" ingredients. Most asian sauce recipes call for ingredients that might be only used once and then what do you do with the rest? Not this one. Thanks!

This is a tasty, easy to make peanut sauce. I made Thai chicken skewers and coconut rice and this sauce complemented the chicken really well. I used ginger paste (because I'm lazy) and halved the recipe. I expected it to be just okay because of the lack of coconut milk but it was great! I especially like that it's really quick and easy. Thanks for sharing!
