In order to complete a satay dish with dignity, peanut sauce must tag along.  They shouldn't be existing without each other.  This recipe is adapted to meet the today's fast-paced & busy lifestyle, it will take less than 15 minutes to make.  Just don't tell a traditional Thai chef that we're using peanut butter here, but then.....who cares.....as long as it tastes good and you enjoy it!
 
INGREDIENTS:
 1 cup of creamy peanut butter (if you like it crunchy, go crunchy)
1.5-2 cups of coconut milk or evaporated milk
2-3 tbsp of brown sugar   
1 tsp of salt
1-2 tsp of Thai red curry paste (for a spicier taste, add more curry paste)
 
How to:
 1.  Whisk peanut butter, brown sugar, salt, Thai red curry paste, and coconut milk (or evaporated milk) very well in a medium saucepan.
 2. Over medium low heat, bring peanut sauce mixture to a boil.  Stir or whisk constantly to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan.  If the sauce becomes too thick, add more coconut milk or evaporated milk.
 
Note:  1. Peanut sauce will easily burned, stirring and whisking constantly is an      
               absolute must.  This is not the time to text your friend.                
            2. Both coconut milk and Thai red curry paste can be found in most local
                grocery stores or any Asian stores.

    I’m an atypical almost middle-aged girl who currently lives in a beautiful tiny town called “Spring Lake”, Michigan.  I’m not a full-time mom or a full-time wife (because I work full-time), but I’m a mom, a wife, an animal lover, a cook, a food addict, a former city girl, an aspired Bond girl, and etc…….  I was born in a magical faraway land so far away from Spring Lake.  The exact distant from my home town and Spring Lake is 8741 miles.  The best way to get there is to fly…..oh my….oh my, not too much fun being on a plane that long.  Anyway, let’s see what I have in store for you.

    I love to eat, therefore, I love to cook.  My style of cooking is simple and very simple.  Nothing's fancy...may be once in a while, but it'll still be easy.  I try not to create any more complications in my life.

    Simplicity is the master key in my kitchen.
