Ingredients

1 1/4 cups coconut milk, stirred to blend
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

1

In a food processor fitted with metal blade or in a blender, combine all the ingredients and process until smooth. Refrigerated, in a covered container, the sauce will keep for up to 5 days.
2

I use chili powder in place of the crushed red pepper because I like it really spicy.
3

I've also frozen and thawed leftovers - it is still delicious.

A note about this recipe from the book: Satay is a theme that recurs all over Asia and it varies depending on the country. My Version most closely resembles the Thai rendition; it's creamy and highly spiced. Serve it with grilled chicken, beef or seafood [or tofu].
