Serves: 5
Total Calories: 147

Ingredients

2 teaspoons ginger, minced fresh
1 to 2 serrano chile, , Thai or jalapeno chiles, seeded and minced (for a spicier sauce, leave the seeds in)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 scallion, both white and green parts, trimmed and minced
1/3 cup chunky peanut butter
1/3 cup coconut milk, canned or homemade, or more as needed
2 tablespoons asain fish sauce, or soy sauce, or more to taste
1 tablespoon lime juice, fresh, or more to taste
2 teaspoons sugar, or more to taste
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped fresh (optional)

Directions:

1. Combine the ginger, chile, garlic, scallions, peanut butter, 1/3 cup coconut milk, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 teaspoons sugar, and the cilantro (if using) in a small, heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring well to mix, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until richly flavored, about 10 minutes. The sauce should be thick but pourable thin with coconut milk, if needed.

2. Remove from the heat and taste for seasoning, adding fish sauce, lime juice, or sugar as necessary the sauce should be highly seasoned. Serve warm or at room temperature. The sauce will keep, tightly covered in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.
