You are very close to an Indonesian satay sauce recipe (also spelled
sate). You could look up dishes that include that sauce and then test
them with your own new combination or just use them for general inspiration.
A lot of those recipes use chicken or pork. You could add chilies (or
tabasco or sambal), coconut milk and possibly water for making properish
satay sauce.
