  1. Mind blowingly good peanut sauce!
     
  2. once upon a time, i had an amazing peanut sauce at a little hole in the wall vietnamese restaurant. i've been searching for a similar recipe ever since and i have at last found it! *glee* this is by far the best peanut sauce i have ever made. i used 3 T orange blossom honey instead of sugar... and since i only had salted organic peanut butter, i used a bit less soy sauce to even the salt out.
     
  3. I keep a jar of this in the fridge at all times. Soooo good. Great mixed with rice. Usually though, I increase the peanut butter to 3/4 cup, because sometimes I have trouble tasting the peanut butteriness. But fabulous recipe w/o alteration. :)
     
  4. This is absolutely delicious. Made it to go with meow's Satay Ayam #38009 and they worked perfectly together.
     
  5. Wonderful! Mean is not kidding about it being a "full-flavored" sauce... a little goes a long way, but it is sooooo delicious. The only change I made was to add about a tsp of ground roasted chiles with the vinegar, as I did not have serrano rice wine vinegar but still wanted the extra spice. Thanks Meanie! (Resubmitted because stars didn't show up.. weird!)
