peanut sauce

You know what was silly of me? Posting all about seroendeng, and not including the recipe for the peanut sauce! My bad. So without further ado, here it is, delicious peanut sauce straight from the Holland friends.

You need:

* 2 1/2 Tbs peanut butter

* 1 cup milk (I make mine vegan with rice milk)

* 2 Tbs ketchup

* 2 Tbs soy sauce

* sambol, tabasco, or ground hot peppers

* 1 clove garlic- chopped

* 1 small onion- chopped

* sugar

* pepper (black and/or white)

* great spices that you have on hand

Heat a little oil, and fry up the onion and garlic until brown. Add a little sugar, pepper, and any spices of your choice, but no more than a teaspoon of each (curry, coriander, cumin, ginger, chili powder, and cayenne pepper are all nice). Add the peanut butter and milk, and stir until the peanut butter has dissolved, and the sauce is smooth. Add the sambol (or tabasco), ketchup, soy sauce, and some crushed peanuts or coconut if you'd like. If it's too thick, add milk. If it's too thin, let it boil slowly until thick enough. Bon Appetit!

I know it's an awfully vague recipe, but the peanut sauce came out so good, and it's great on just about anything. Rice, noodles, veggies- it all tastes a little better with some peanut sauce on top :)
