PEANUT SAUCE
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 small or 1/2 large onion (diced)
- chili flakes to taste
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 1/2 tbsp kecap manis
- 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup crushed unsalted roasted peanuts (optional)
- 1 - 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Add garlic, onion and chillis and cook for 3 minutes until onion is translucent.
- Turn heat down to medium, then add peanut butter, coconut milk, kecap manis, soy sauce and salt. Simmer for 10 minutes, whisking occasionally.
- Use a handheld stick to puree (so the onion and chilli blends throughout the sauce - this is key). (See Note 2 for blending instructions) Stir through crushed peanuts and lime juice and simmer for 2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving or to room temperature - it will thicken.
