Ingredients
-
3 -5 tablespoons vegetable oil (do not use olive oil for this)
-
5 scallions, chopped very fine
-
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
-
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated
-
2 cups water
-
1 cup peanut butter (can add in more to make a thicker sauce)
-
1/2 cup soy sauce
-
1/3 cup white vinegar
-
6 tablespoons packed brown sugar (1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons)
-
1 -2 tablespoon thai-style chili sauce (I use Kikkoman chili sauce for this)
Instructions
- In a saucepan heat oil over medium heat and sauté the scallions, garlic and ginger (about 1 minute).
- Add/stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer, stirring.
- Simmer the sauce until smooth, then cool to room temperature.
- *NOTE* If you are refrigerating the sauce, and you find that the sauce is too thick after chilling, stir in a couple of tablespoons of hot water and stir until combined, adding more hot water until the sauce is of the right consistency.
- This sauce is best served at room temperature.
