Like for A chicken Satay? Thai peanut sauce?

Well I dunno about a small amount but a peanut sauce (kinda Thai) is basiclly this:

1 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons red chili paste
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 lime, juiced
1/2 cup hot water
Throw some chopped peanuts on for garnish if you want.

Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, red chili paste, brown sugar, and lime juice in a food processor or blender & Puree
While thats going, drizzle in the hot water to thin out the sauce, you may not need all of it, just get it to the consistancy you like. Sometimes I use chicken broth instead of water too.

WOW, you are great---that recipe is better than the one I found at various places. I found a recipe for Asian Beef Noodle soup that calls for the peanut sauce. Your recipe doesn't seem like it makes more than 1/2 cup---that's great---I didn't want to make a lot and not like it. Thanks again!!!!
