Sambal Kacang Siomay atau Batagor 
Peanut Sauce for Siomay or Batagor
Since I was a kid, I often made peanut sauce for siomay or batagor, but it never turned out delicious 😂😢😥. The texture was always too thick, and the oil just wouldn't come out 😢. I once tried using coconut milk, but it didn't taste good (probably misread the recipe since I was just a kid 😂). I also tried using mashed steamed potatoes, which was quite tasty. Back then, I would just blend the peanuts with water and cook it on low heat, but it took forever for the oil to come out. It turns out you need to cook the blended peanuts first until the oil comes out before adding water.

Note: I intentionally used oil to coax the peanut oil out, haha. It's okay not to use it, I think hehe 😂😅😁. Just use very, very low heat, ladies.

If you want the sauce to be red, use large red chili peppers. But using red chili peppers is quite red too hehe.

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.

Asian Inspired Peanut Sauce Asian Inspired Peanut Sauce
I have tried a few sauces that were okay, but this sauce, inspired by the Kitchen, is my favorite. It is very simple to make, but has such spectacular flavor.Depending upon your desired consistency, add more or less water. For our dish, a half cup was perfect. If you want to use as a salad dressing, use more water. We used ours over noodles/spaghetti, with some chicken. Wow!You will be surprised at how good this sauce is. Just a few simple ingredients.Enjoy!
