My peanut sauce is a family recipe with fresh herbs and spices including lemongrass and galangal. Traditionally it is served as a dipping sauce for Satay but can also be used as a salad dressing for the Malay salad, Gado Gado.
To use as a dipping sauce dilute with equal amounts of cold water and mix. Heat the diluted sauce in a saucepan on a medium heat until hot. Transfer onto serving bowl.
