Warm Ginger Peanut Sauce Food

If you don't feel like cooking on a hot summer day, you can enjoy plain cold tofu with a dipping sauce. Or you can sear it quickly in a pan or grill it. This recipe and the others that follow it this week make enough sauce or marinade for a pound of tofu.Spread this sweet and pungent peanut sauce on seared, grilled or uncooked tofu. It also makes a nice dipping sauce for crudités or spring rolls.

This is what I would call "eatable." Not just edible. I and my daughter, too, have been known to forage the fridge looking for leftovers to dip in sauce remnants. I know the ingredient list looks daunting, but it doesn't take long and is COMPLETELY worth it. I found this in a book called "Desperation Entertaining" by Beverly Mills and Alicia Ross. It is suggested, among other things, as a dip for chicken fingers.

There are a million versions of spicy peanut sauce - this is just another take on an old (?) favourite. It uses vinegar which I like because I don't always have citrus on hand. My 3 year old loves this (go figure), it's just the right amount of spice for him - so of course you might want to beef up the chili. I also went pretty light on the sesame oil to try and save some calories...all in all it's pretty tasty and super easy! In my photo I had stir-fried it with some buckwheat noodes, bok choi, broccoli and some other veg. Note that it only makes 1/2 a cup, about enough for 2.

This peanut sauce is very flavorful, with lemon, ginger, and quite a bit of heat. It's good with satays, stir-frys, rice bowls, or good as a dip. Don't be afraid to add more or less of the spices, just add to taste! Store in the fridge up to one week.

One of the best recipes for peanut sauce I have tried! This goes great with grilled meats, especially on grilled chicken skewers, on noodles, even used as a salad dressing for spinach salad!. You won't be able to keep your spoon out of the jar, it is that good LOL! This peanut sauce is of a thinner consistency, if you want a thicker sauce, then add in more peanut butter and reduce the water just slightly. This can be made up to 3 days in advance. Kikkoman Thai-Style chili sauce can be found in any Asian section of major grocery stores, I purchase mine at Safeway stores in the Asian section, but you can use any brand of Thai chili sauce for this. You can use about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon (or to taste) red pepper flakes in place of the chili sauce. This recipe may be cut in half to make 2 cups.
