Garlic Peanut Sauce

Grrrrrgh!
Course : Sauces
From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 4 - 6
 

Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic -- crushed
2 small shallots -- diced finely
1/4 Pint warm water
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
5 Tablespoons smooth peanut butter
1 Teaspoon grated ginger
1 bottle hot chili sauce -- to taste
 

Preparation:

Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots and garlic. Cook until soft, but not brown. Pour in the water, soy sauce, peanut butter and ginger. Bring to a boil and season with hot chili sauce. Simmer until desired thickness is reached. I like three cloves of garlic in this myself, and probably a couple tablespoons of chili sauce (enough to make it noticeable :). It gets reasonably thick in 5-10 minutes, and can sit happily for a while after, and reheats nicely the next day in the microwave.
