peanut butter dippy

i love peanut butter more than anything. i don’t know whether i would have survived childhood without it… but as i get older, my tastes are changing.

for example, my peanutty red curry sauce, and this dippy.

i use this recipe all the time. in fact, if i run out of things to dip in it, i have no trouble eating it with a spoon. nom nom.

ingredients:

1/3 c natural peanut butter
1/3 c soy sauce
1 T garlic
2 t sambal olek
hot water

*remember, i love garlic!! this may be too much for you. also, sambal olek is pretty hot, so adjust based on your tolerance!!*

to make:

combine peanut butter, soy sauce, garlic and sambal olek in a bowl, and whisk to mix everything together. i like this sauce fairly thick, but even still it may need a bit of water added. i find it thickens up if you let it sit for a while. i’d say i normally add 1/4 c of hot tap water.

serve with your favourite dippers. suggestions: summer/spring rolls, deep-fried tofu, raw veggies, perogies…
