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.

The diluted sauce can also be used as a salad dressing.
