spicy peanut butter dip or salad dressing

This is a versatile dip that's inspired by the traditional satay sauces of Malaysia. It's best served with chopped up carrots, cucumber, beetroot, red onions, beans, tofu or celery. It can also be used as a salad dressing for a crunchy cabbage, cucumber, boiled egg and noodle salad.

This sauce also makes for a delicious condiment to grilled fish or meat. The quantities are a rough guide and as with all sauces, feel free to adjust the individual ingredients according to taste.
