Ingredients

1 tablespoon peanut oil
3 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons chili paste such as sambal oelek*
1 cup vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons peanuts chopped

Notes

*Recipe makes approximately 1 1/2 cups of sauce.

*Chili paste: If you can't find sambal oelek (normally available in the Asian aisle of most well-stocked grocery stores) you can use chili garlic sauce, sriracha or any other chili paste. The amount in the recipe gives the peanut sauce a mild-medium level of spice. Adjust chili paste to taste.

To Freeze: Freeze peanut sauce in an airtight container or freezer bag. To freeze smaller portions, freeze sauce for two hours in an ice cube tray. Put the ice cubes in an airtight container or freezer bag and transfer to the freezer. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months.
