Thai Peanut Sauce

We did a big Thai Food dinner last night for several friends. It was so good, and there was sooo much food! If you haven't tried cooking Thai food before, you'll be surprised at how easy and affordable it actually is.

Something we like to do as an appetizer is to dip sticky rice in peanut sauce. It's also great to dip spring rolls in it. I love this peanut sauce recipe (but of course I didn't take a photo, so I took this one off the internet):

INGREDIENTS:

1 Tablespoon Masaman Curry Paste

1 Tablespoon oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 Tablespoons chunky peanut butter

2 Tablespoons lime juice

3 Tablespoons Brown sugar

1 1/2 Cups coconut milk

1/2 Cup water

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika powder

Put the curry paste, oil and 2 Tablespoons of the coconut milk in a saucepan and cook for a couple of minutes until the oil starts to come to the top. Add the rest of the coconut milk and other ingredients. Adjust the salt and sugar to your preference.

The sauce will thicken as it cools, making it a great consistency for dipping.
