Submitted by Stinkerbell

"While the beef pairs nicely with the peanut sauce, lamb or chicken are excellent substitutions."

I searched this site for a great peanut sauce, and finally found one!!!! I made just a few slight changes to the recipe. First, I made it as above, but let it sit in the pan for about an hour after I cooked it so the flavors could really come together. I had too much chili in it for my taste, so added about 2 tablespoons of honey and 1/4 cup of coconut milk to get the consistency I wanted as I reheated it. It turned out GREAT (I used it over a chicken/spinach/onion dish) and I'll use this recipe over and over again.
