Making Peanut Dipping Sauce

D.Schmidt

While most peanut dips call for peanut butter, this recipe is the authentic Thai version made from fresh peanuts - you'll taste the difference!

To create Thai peanut dipping sauce from scratch, place the following ingredients in a blender or food processor:

• 1 cup dry roasted peanuts
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/2 tsp. dark soy sauce
• 2 tsp. sesame oil
• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp. fish sauce (OR Vegetarian fish sauce, OR 3 Tbsp. soy sauce)
• 1/2 tsp. tamarind paste
• 1 tsp. chili sauce

Process well. Now do a taste test for sugar and salt, adding more brown sugar or fish sauce as needed. If too salty for your taste, add a squeeze of lime juice.
