Notes:
- The original recipe had 1/2 tsp salt which I omitted as the soy and salsa have enough salt.
- Both hot and medium salsa have worked for me. Smooth salsa also works but a chopped, peeled tomato improves the texture.
- I use unsalted peanuts. Because of the salsa and soy, this dish already has more than enough salt.
- 1 tsp powdered ginger instead of the ginger root worked just fine.
- I squeezed this into my 2 qt crock pot, cooked it on high until simmering and then turned it down. A larger pot would be easier.
