EASIEST PEANUT SAUCE RECIPE

I love everything Asian food, for obvious reason that I grew up in the Philippines and was surrounded by different Asian cuisine. Aside from Chinese food, I loove, Thai food as well. There’s a big advantage on being surrounded by different types of Asian cuisine. Your palate can easily tell what’s authentic or not. So when I came here in the US, I was in a mission of finding the  peanut sauce recipe which my taste bud was accustomed to.

Sure there we have few restaurants here in Bend, OR but they are too expensive, so I looked and searched the best recipe for peanut sauce and guys, I found this recipe from Recipe Tin and THIS IS IT.
