Spicy Peanut Sauce

• 3 -5 tablespoons vegetable oil (do not use olive oil for this)
• 5 scallions, chopped very fine
• 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup peanut butter (can add in more to make a thicker sauce)
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/3 cup white vinegar
• 6 tablespoons packed brown sugar (1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons)
• 1 -2 tablespoon thai-style chili sauce (I use Kikkoman chili sauce for this)

1. In a saucepan heat oil over medium heat and saute the scallions, garlic and ginger (about 1 minute).
2. Add/stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer, stirring.
3. Simmer the sauce until smooth, then cool to room temperature.
4. *NOTE* If you are refrigerating the sauce, and you find that the sauce is too thick after chilling, stir in a couple of tablespoons of hot water and stir until combined, adding more hot water until the sauce is of the right consistency.
5. This sauce is best served at room temperature.
