This is my hub's famous peanut sauce he makes for us. The key to this recipe is that it uses whole peanuts instead of peanut butter. It makes a world of difference in taste and texture. Ingredients:
3 ounces roasted, salted peanuts |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
1 tablespoon asian (toasted) sesame oil |
1 teaspoon hot chili oil |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
4 teaspoons fresh lime juice |
1 tablespoon white sugar, or to taste |
1 teaspoon asian chili garlic sauce, or to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Pour the peanuts onto a dry baking sheet in a single layer, and break the whole nuts apart into halves. Toast the peanuts until they are fragrant and slightly darker in color, 7 to 10 minutes, watching carefully so they don't burn.
3. Remove peanuts from the oven, let cool, and place in the work bowl of a food processor. Pulse 2 or 3 times to chop them finely, then add the canola oil, toasted sesame oil, hot chili oil, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, and chili garlic sauce. Process until the mixture is a fine paste with a little texture of chopped peanuts, not a totally smooth paste. The sauce should look a little grainy.
