I have been far too busy for the past month, and have cooked almost nothing.  This is the first new dish I have done in quite a while, and it worked out loverly.  The final touches were made by Aedan.

This is a great dipping sauce for spring rolls, egg rolls, fresh veggies, etc.  Can also be used as a salad dressing, or noodle sauce by crazy people like me.

2 cups peanut butter

1/2 cup coconut milk

1/2 cup water

6 tablespoons lemon or lime juice

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons hot sauce

1 tablespoon ginger (preferrably fresh diced, but I used powder)

1 tablespoon minced garlic (more or less)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro (but I used a heaping tablespoon of cilantro paste)

2 tablespoons of oil or butter

(1 tablespoon fish sauce, but I skipped this)

Place garlic and oil in pan and place on med high.  Brown the garlic and then add soysauce, coconut milk, water, lime/lemon juice, ginger and hot sauce.  Once that is warm, add peanut butter and stir until it is smooth.  Then add cilantro, and stir thoroughly, once more.  Serve it warm or cold.  I garnished by placing it in a bowl, and covering with a layer of crushed peanuts.
