A Sauce so Nice They Named it Twice

June 11, 2011

The complex flavors of Asian cooking are definitely my favorite. Although, it's a toss up between Thai and Indonesian, this gado gado sauce may just give Indonesian food the edge. It's easy to prepare and can be used for a traditional vegetable salad or as a sauce for a stir-fry. It's excellent for vegetarians since the peanut butter is good source of protein and fat. If you have peanut allergies, then replace peanut with almond butter.

Gado Gado Sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chunky peanut butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 med white onion, chopped
2 sm shallots, minced
½ tsp chili powder
