directions

  • Mix onion and garlic.

  • Brown the paste in the oil at very low heat.
  • Stir in sambal oelek, paprika, and ginger powder.
  • Add the peanut butter.
  • When the sauce is brown, add the ketjap manis and the milk.
  • Keep stirring at low heat until the sauce thickens.
  • Finally, add the lemon juice, salt and pepper.

  1. I intend to find all the ingredients to make this exactly as written to use as a dip in the future. I made many alterations to make it a soupier sauce for some stir-fried pork and veggies but stuck with the seasonings and substitutions to approximate seasonings I did not have on hand and it was still fantastic! Thanks for sharing Carol!
     
  2. I had to make a substitution because I couldn't find sambal oelek, and ordinary soy had to do for the ketjap manis (I added a bit of extra sugar to compensate). But the end result was scrumptious. After our meal Mr B informed me that he doesn't like peanut butter; but funnily enough he had a clean plate at the end!
