Peanut Sauce

This is one of my personal favorites. I never measure anything for this, but it always seems to come out okay, if different every time. Therefore, the amounts given are only approximate, and the last few ingredients are optional.

Mix in order given:

½ cup peanut butter or almond butter (or maybe a little less)
2 Tbsp sesame oil
3 Tbsp soy sauce
3 Tbsp lemon juice or rice vinegar (juice is best)
2-3 Tbsp honey (okay, it's not quite vegan ... you can use barley malt)
Curry powder and/or coriander
Green onions
Ginger (fresh)
Cilantro leaves
Garlic

For a thinner sauce, add some water or coconut milk. I like to serve this over stir-fried or steamed vegies with tofu which has been cooked with rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. If the veggies are very hot the sauce doesn't need to be heated. I find it loses some of its flavor if it is mixed into the veggies before serving.

Warning: Do not use "soynut butter" as a substitute for the peanut butter. I tried this, and it was a disaster. Yuck!
