Peanut, peanut butter and chicken.

Why did the chicken swim in teriyaki sauce? To taste delicious! But enough about fowl, let's talk peanut sauce. You know it mainly from Thai food. Here's the thing, it's so easy to make that you can enjoy it at home on anything! Actually no, it would be gross on breakfast cereal. Anyway, here is the base of the sauce: peanut butter and bit of soy sauce. What? Only two ingredients? I'm for totally serious. But then I add freshly squeezed lime juice and orange juice. You can add much more if you like but remember the soy sauce and peanut butter are salty so you won't need salt. You might want to add hot sauce or fresh herbs (I'm told basil works well). If it is too thick, just add a little water until you get the consistency that you like. Ta da! Yesterday I served mine with the chicken as well as udon noodles and some green pepper that I sauteed with shallots and red pepper flakes then simmered in chicken stock.
