Finally, something I make very well, so I can make my first post!
I lived in Holland for 15 years and loved the Indonesian Pinda sauce.
After returning to the States, I spent alot of time tweeking my own recipe,
and below is my "perfect" version.
The key here is... WAIT until you have your entire meal ready then start
heating the peanut butter and stirring in the water. It will only take a few minutes.
If you cook it too long, it gets thick and grainy.
1 Cup Smooth Peanut Butter - the cheapest you can find!
5 TBS Brown Sugar
5 TBS Sweet Soy Sauce (ketjap manis)
1 1/2 TBS Sambal (chinese red pepper paste)
1 TBS Minced Garlic
3/4 Cup Water
Mix all ingrediants, except water, in a small heavy sauce pan.
Let sit for 1/2 hour
Slowly add water, stirring and heating slowly.
When you get to the consistancy you like, whisk it quick and serve!
