Cooking Instructions
- 1
In my case, I use raw peanuts. If you have unsalted roasted peanuts, it is easier. You may skip the pan fried peanuts in oil. In a pan, heat 3 tbsp cooking oil, pan fry the peanuts for 5-8 minutes. Transfer it on the plate with napkin. Let it cool down. Afterward, remove the skin of the peanuts (optional). I do it to reduce the bitterness of the peanuts skin.
- 2
Ground the peanuts with food processor/mortar and pestle. Add little dash of oil, salt, sugar/palm sugar, chili powder, fresh chili.
- 3
Ground it for 1-2 minutes. It is done and you may store it in the fridge.
- 4
When you want to eat it, take 2 tbsp of peanut paste and mix it well with 3-4 tbsp water and 1/4 tsp tamarind paste (optional). Mix it well. You may add water if you like the sauce thinner.
- 5
Other options: in a non-stick pan, heat 1 tsp cooking oil, stir fry chopped onions, add the peanut pastes, tamarind paste, 2 tbsp water. Stir fry it in low heat until the paste a bit thicker.
- 6
Prepare the boiled vegetables, eggs, fried tofu and anything that you love, crackers.
- 7
Pour the peanut sauce on top of boiled vegetables. Enjoy it.

Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce
The fresh spring rolls I had at a food stall in Vietnam were so tasty that I toyed around with various flavors to come up with the right recipe The sauce is truly delicious.Use your choice of fillings. You don't have to have all of the ingredients. I also recommend filling them with avocado or kimchi. You could also substitute leftover somen noodles for the cellophane noodles. Wrapping the fillings first in the green salad leaves prevents the wrappers from breaking apart while wrapping, and also while eating. Recipe by Tomonchicchi

Homemade Spicy Peanut Sauce (Indonesian Sambel Kacang) Homemade Spicy Peanut Sauce (Indonesian Sambel Kacang)
This peanut sauce originated from Indonesia, also known as a sambel kacang or sambel pecel. It made from fried or roasted peanuts and then added chili and spices, blend or grind it into smooth peanut paste. Nowadays besides in Indonesia, peanut sauce is widely used in cuisine worldwide such as China, Thailand, and Vietnam in various versions and recipes. Peanut sauce can be use as salad dressing, satay (meat skewers), dipping sauce for any appetizers such as egg rolls or spring rolls, also can enjoy it over steamed rice or steamed vegetables. You can buy ready -to-eat Indonesian peanut sauce in most of Asian store. But the taste quite little bit different. I like to make my own peanut sauce, since it’s easy to make, and of course I will have a better taste peanut sauce than the ready-to-eat one. The ingredients I used are very simple as well as the steps how to make it.

Quick and easy spinach with peanut sauce Quick and easy spinach with peanut sauce
My first experience with Thai food was as a young adult, in my 20s. I was introduced via a dish called Showering Rama consisting of spinach sauteed in a deliciously rich peanut sauce. I was absolutely hooked! It's one of my favorite Thai dishes to this day. Tonight I made a version of it using 3 ingredients: fresh spinach, a commercially prepared Thai peanut satay sauce, and some crushed honey roasted peanuts.
