![]() I made my first homemade peanut sauce based on the common elements of several recipes I found on the Internet. Start with the below ingredients then add more of the various ingredients to taste (it can get quite spicy and salty). The magic ingredient is Maesri brand red curry paste from Thailand which I can now find at Lion supermarket for $0.69 for 114g can. Like the other types of Maesri curry it contains chile, garlic, shallot, salt (!), sugar, spices (?), and galangal which is related to ginger. I just tasted it and almost passed out, it was so f* good. This is the PERFECT sauce for meat or vegetables or just crackers or even the fried tofu I had for lunch today. And not too expensive compared to the few brands of commercial peanut sauce I've seen. I'm already pigging out on it even before the meat and rice are done. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Panda Peanut Sauce #1 Peanuts: 150g (-) Coconut Milk: 500cc Red Curry Paste: 25cc (+) Fish Sauce: 25cc (+) Soy Sauce: 10cc (-) Oil: 15cc (+) Turbinado Sugar: 20cc (~) Lime Juice: 30cc (+) Lemongrass chopped: 2g (~) Ginger chopped: 2g (~) Put peanuts in small frypan and mix with oil and lightly sautee golden brown. Separate 50g of peanuts and add remaining 100g to blender, add coconut milk and puree. Then add the separate 50cc to blender and pulse several times to chop them up for a crunchier texture. Pour mixture into saucepan and slowly heat while adding the base amounts of red curry paste, fish sauce, and turbinado surgar. If not salty enough decide whether to add more fish sauce or soy, but be careful as this recipe can get way too salty. Add a few extra cc of the red curry paste and taste before adding more, but definitely no more than 40cc. Add about 30cc squeezed lime juice, perhaps the juice of an average-sized lime. Then finely chop a few grams each of lemongrass and ginger, which is roughly half a 5cc teaspoon and add gradually to taste. Simmer a bit, adding more coconut milk or even just water to thin. Serve over meat and rice or use it as a vegetable dip or whatever, just try it! Using ingredients found at Lion supermarket except for the peanuts I found at Whole Food, the price should be no more than $2.25 for up to 750cc of sauce. ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
