Thai Peanut Sauce


 Oooh what warm, hearty goodness. This recipe is absolute comfort food, especially with yesterday's home-made noodles. You don't need a mixer for this Thai peanut recipe, but it did assist in making an especially smooth sauce. It almost could have been a soup. Mr. V could not stop raving about this meal, even the next day. And at a total cost of $1.34 for 3 servings...what a bargain!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons peanut butter (the more natural, the more flavor...I'm trying to move toward more natural foods, but am being a bit hypocritical by using up the last of my processed stash)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 clove chopped garlic
up to 2 teaspoons hot chili paste (optional....I used a half teaspoon and it added a spicy flavor without much burn)

chives/green onions for garnish

Equipment:

bowl & wisk
small saucepan


Directions:
  • Whisk together all ingredients until smooth





  • Cook on low until bubbling






  • Serve over noodles and/or chicken






Cost:


Peanut Butter 0.23
Honey 0.15
Soy Sauce 0.19
Chili Sauce 0.05
Garlic 0.02
chicken broth 0.25

0.89
