Peanut sauce
It all started with a crossword mentionning a famous salad (gado-gado) which I had to look up on the internet, and then one link led to another...The salad is served with peanut sauce, which you can optionally spice with sambal oelek.
You don't have to. If you don't like spicy food, just skip the sambal and see how you feel about red curry,maybe putting half ? I don't find red curry spicy, but some people might.
What you need :
| What | img |
|---|---|
| Peanut butter (the purest, the better), 75gr |  |
| 4 tsp red curry paste |  |
| 3 tsp kecap manis, or 2 tsp soy sauce with 1 tsp honey |  |
| 1 tsp sambal oelek |  |
| 1 big garlic clove |  |
| 125 ml coconut milk |  |
| 125 ml water |  |
| 1,5 tsp lime juice, or white vinegar |  |
Putting it together
- Mix all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium low heat.
- Bring to simmer then cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly so the bottom doesn't catch, until it thickens.
- If too thick, just add more water - should be able to drizzle it.
