Ingredients to make Spicy Thai Peanut Dressing:
1cup coconut milk
1/3 cup of water
1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter (I used Jiff)
1 Tbs of brown sugar
1 Tbs of soy sauce
1/2 Tbs of fish sauce
1 small handful of Thai basil leaves torn (you can substitute regular basil)
1/2 tsp of red chili flakes (or to taste)
roasted crush peanuts for garnish (optional)
Directions: Heat a saucepan on medium-low heat. Add all ingredients and stir until everything mixes well and the peanut butter melts. Allow to cook a few minutes. If sauce is too thick for salad dressing add a little water to thin it out. Adjust flavors/seasoning to your palate by adding more soy sauce or fish sauce for a saltier flavor or brown sugar to sweeten it. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy.
