 via www.shesimmers.com

INGREDIENTS

  • One 13.5-ounce can of coconut milk
  • 2 ounces (approximately 1/4 cup) of Thai red OR massaman curry
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened (natural) creamy peanut butter –(Do not use regular peanut butter.)
  • 1/2 tablespoon Hawaiian salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar (Do not use white wine, red wine, balsamic, or anything else — not even rice vinegar)
  • 1/2 cup water
  1. Put everything into a medium heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a very gentle boil over medium heat, whisking constantly.
  2. Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes over low heat; be careful not to let the mixture scorch at the bottom of the pot.
  3. Take the pot off the heat, let the sauce cool down to room temperature (or slightly warmer), and serve the sauce with satay or fried tofu.

Note: This peanut sauce keeps in a glass container in the refrigerator for weeks. Refrigerated sauce will thicken up considerably. All you have to do is thin it out with a little bit of water to desired consistency, reheat, and serve. The sauce also freezes beautifully.
