PEANUT BUTTER
Level 1
Asian Peanut Sauce
Yields approximately 1 cup
A fantastic dip for shrimp, or a tossing sauce for Asian-style pasta.
½ cup peanut butter
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
½ tsp. spicy (hot) sesame oil
½ cup peanut oil
½ cup soy sauce
1-2 cloves garlic, peeled and cored
Put peanut butter in bowl of food processor; pulse with garlic two or three times. Add sesame oil. Gradually add remaining ingredients with processor running. For thicker consistency, add more peanut butter.
Serving suggestions:
Use as a dip for shrimp or toss with linguini or soba noodles. As a side dish, add in ½ cup finely chopped peanuts, 2 Tbsp. finely chopped scallions. Toss well, and if desired, garnish with chopped cilantro. As a bed for scallops or grilled shrimp, serve with a few slices of lime on the side.
