Oh, tasty days, here comes the peanut sauce.

• half medium shallot, minced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 1 chile (or whatever), minced
• 1 can coconut milk
• 4 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• juice of 1 lime
• salt to taste

1. In a small saucepan, saute the shallot, garlic, ginger, and chile until golden.
2. Add the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy, and sugar and bring to a simmer. (For maximum mixing pleasure, use a whisk.)
3. Simmer away for like 20 minutes or so, mixing frequently. Taste as you go and adjust salt/sweet/spicy magical combo to your liking
4. Off the heat, stir in the lime juice.

Tonight we ate this with some broiled cauliflower (because they were out of broccoli at the grocery) and fried tofu.

We make a mega-spicy version of this to bathe spring rolls in.
