Various Peanut Sauce Recipes

Whenever I say peanut sauce to a westerner(s),
they always think of Satay Sauce.

There are different kind of peanut sauce in Indonesia,
for satays, or snacks, salads dressings.

Here are 2 different kind of Peanut Sauce.
One for Sambal Rujak / Mix fruits with peanut and palm Sugar Dressing.
And one to accompany fried snacks like Indonesian Pastel,
Kroket (Indonesian Potato Croquette with minced and vegies filling),
or Meals like Gado-Gado (Indonesian mix vegies salad with peanut dressing)
or Ketoprak Betawi (Betawi/Jakarta Tofu and Vermicelli salad with peanut dressing)
or even Satay Sauce.

Sambal Rujak
(Indonesian Mix Fruits Dessert
with Peanuts and Palm Sugar Dressing)

The sweet, sour and a little bit salty taste
perfect for mix fruits dessert dressing.

Here I used fried unsalted peanuts.

About 4 Tbsp, crushed.

About 4 Tbsp Palm Sugar

3 Tbsp hot/warm water, mix with palm sugar,

until dissolved.

Add crushed peanuts into it,

1 Tbsp of peanut butter.

Crushed chili - as much as you like.

Add 1-2 tbsp of tamarind puree.

Taste then add salt - to taste.

If you make a lot, just freezed the rest.
So next time, you only need to defrost it :)






Sambal Kacang Serba Guna
Multi-Purpose Peanut Sauce
for Indonesian food

Sautee 1 - 2 cloves of garlic.

About 4 Tbsp of unsalted fried peanuts.

Add sauteed garlic and
bird-eye chilis.

Add 1 1/2 Tbsp peanut butter

Add crushed burning chili :D
Adjust or skipped the chili part,
if you can't eat chili.

Add 1-2 Tbsp of white vinegar,
and salt to taste.
Mix them all together.
Taste.

If you have left overs,

put it in a container, cover with cling wrap,
marked and freezed.

This sauce is ideal for snacks such as:

Pastel / Indonesian Empanada,

Bakwan Sayur / Indonesian Vegetable fritters,

Risoles (Indonesian Vegetables and Minced Crumbed Pancake,
