I love cooking food with Asian flavors and this versatile sauce is so good on so many dishes. I used this sauce over a chilled Asian Peanut Pasta salad and it’s wonderful, tangy, and creamy with a nice tone of different spices and a bit of heat. Use it over hot or cold pasta dishes, dip fresh vegetables in it, use it as a dip for many different Asian appetizers like shrimp summer rolls or wontons. This sauce has endless possibilities, if you like peanut butter then this is a recipe you need to keep close by. Oh, also try it with chicken or beef satay skewers.
