Thai Peanut Sauce

Post by Canelek »

Not sure how "authentic" this is, but it is yum. This was the second time making it...had made some shrimp fresh rolls for a potluck and it was very popular. I think there is a vegetarian fish sauce out there somewhere, but not positive.

1 cup dry-roasted peanuts
1/3 cup water
1 tsp Dark Soy sauce (Tamari)
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp fish sauce
½ tsp tamarind paste
1 Tbsp chili sauce (Hong Foy Foods makes a good one) OR 2-4 fresh Thai chilies

Place all in blender or food processor and process until smooth. If too salty, add a squeeze of lime. Add more fish sauce for additional saltiness.

You forgot the big "This may contain nuts" warning label. Good way to get yourself sued.

Even less authentic Kale with Peanut Sauce:

Heat up a cup or so of vegetable broth in a large pot. Throw in maybe 6 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter, a little bit of brown sugar, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes. Slowly add 2 pounds of kale, allowing it to simmer/steam, stirring as you go. Eat.

Hmm. I like the look of both.

I think for my next iteration, I will add ginger, lemongrass and garlic.

Also more chiles.

Maybe a splash of coconut milk? Probably not. Already a ton of flavors cavorting about.
