Elise’s Super Duper Peanut Sauce



4 servings.

Ingredients

  • 1 T brown sugar (or similar amount of something else similarly sweet if you prefer)
  • 2 T cilantro, chopped (1 t coriander if you must)
  • 2 teaspoons hot chili sauce (or chili oil)
  • 3 T soy sauce
  • 1/3 c (or more) peanut butter
  • 1/2 c rice (wine) vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • some warm/hot water (maybe 1/4 cup)

Directions

  • Sauté garlic (or don’t).
  • Mix everything together in a saucepan and whisk on medium-low heat, until it begins to simmer.
  • Lower heat and whisk regularly, until sauce thickens (kinda like cornstarch – it will thicken relatively suddenly).
  • Slowly add water as needed to reach desired consistency.
  • Remove from heat and serve hot, or chill for cold dishes.
