INGREDIENTS
1/2 pound salted roasted peanuts
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh Thai chili or 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh serrano chilies
2 tablespoons sliced peeled fresh galangal or fresh ginger
1/4 cup chopped palm sugar or firmly packed brown sugar
2 cans (14 oz. each) coconut milk
1/4 cup sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) or 2 tablespoons each soy sauce and sugar
About 3 tablespoons lime juice
About 1/2 teaspoon salt
METHOD
1. In a food processor, whirl peanuts, garlic, chili, galangal, and sugar until finely ground.
2. In a 2- to 3-quart pan over high heat, combine peanut mixture, coconut milk, and sweet soy sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly darker and thicker, about 15 minutes. Add lime juice and salt to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.
PREP AND COOK TIME: About 35 minutes ??? NOTES: Serve as a dipping sauce for beef, chicken, and shrimp satay and to spoon onto vegetables for satay. If making sauce up to 2 days ahead, cover and chill; reheat in a microwave oven or stir over low heat. If sauce has thickened or looks slightly curdled, stir in a little water. Prepared Asian-style peanut sauce is a quick alternative. ??? MAKES: About 4 1/2 cups
