That Peanut Sauce Recipe...

Here it is.

INDONESIAN PEANUT SAUCE

            Adapted from The TMF Cookbook

1 cup chunky peanut butter

½ cup sweet soy sauce (I use ABC brand)**

Juice of one lemon

¼ of medium yellow onion, sliced

Hot sauce to taste of your choice (I use Indonesian sambal bajak, can also use tabasco sauce)

Water as needed; start with 1 cup

Saute onion in water until soft.  Add peanut butter, soy sauce and hot sauce with enough water to make a thick liquid.  Cook over medium heat, adding water as sauce thickens.  Just before turning off burner, add lemon juice.  Serve over rice and vegetables.

*note: I have started experimenting with adding ginger and we like the taste; if you like garlic, you could add that, too.

**note#2:  if you can't find the sweet soy sauce, you can use regular soy sauce and add brown sugar or molasses to sweeten it.

Other notes:  to make it easier to measure, I usually just take a jar of peanut butter which is normally about 2 cups (16 oz).  That doubles the recipe, but what's not to love about MORE PEANUT SAUCE?

I knew someone who used those dried, fried onions that come already packaged.  She thought cooking up my own onion was too much work.

Because I don't eat meat, I serve this over veggies and rice.  It's also good with sauteed meat on skewers.

I didn't create a pdf for this recipe.  You can just copy and paste it into a file.
