Japanese Style Garlic Peanut Sauce

By Derrick Riches, About.com

Satay is a traditional dish served throughout Asia. This is the Japanese variation of this traditional dipping sauce.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 (or more to taste) clove garlic, crushed
  • 2 shallots, diced finely
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 5 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • hot chili sauce, to taste

Preparation:

Heat butter in a medium sauce pan until melted. Add garlic and shallots and sauté until tender but not brown. Pour in water, soy sauce, peanut butter and ginger. Bring to a boil and add as much chili sauce as desired. Reduce heat and simmer until it thickens. Serve at room temperature. This is a great dipping sauce for grilled beef, but most any meat will go well.
