Steps:
- Pour the oil into a large wok or and set over medium heat until shimmering hot. Add the peanuts and stir and cook until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Toss them continuously so they cook evenly without burning.
- Scoop up the peanuts with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to cool. Remove any burnt peanuts, they will taste bitter.
- When the peanuts are cool enough to handle, grind them in a small food processor or pulverize them with a mortar and pestle until they have the texture of coarse sand.
- Mix the water together with the lime leaves, tamarind, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then adjust the heat until it is bubbling gently. Simmer for about 5 minutes, breaking up the tamarind pulp.
- Remove the lime leaves and any chunks of tamarind pulp with a slotted spoon. Add the ground peanuts and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Adjust the heat and simmer gently until thick and creamy like gravy, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often so the sauce doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the sambal oelek and Thai chilies (if using). Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed, making sure the acidity of the tamarind or lime sings through.
- Serve the peanut sauce with vegetables or as a dipping sauce for grilled kebabs.
THE BEST INDONESIAN PEANUT SAUCE
This recipe comes from the vegetarian times and is actually a vegan recipe, though I am not either of those things :-). I made this because I just LOVE peanut sauces and this is the best one I have had, not to mention how simple it was to make! I used reduced fat peanut butter and it didn't seem to affect the recipe at all. It will keep up to a week or so in the fridge and personally, I like to either toss it with noodles and chicken or serve it with chicken chunks over brown rice. I don't like things spicy and this was perfect. I also saute the chicken chunks in 1 tsp sesame oil just to enhance the flavor. It makes quite a bit of sauce, I would say it serves 6! Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a small bowl stir together peanut butter, sour cream, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 2 teaspoons soy sauce until combined. In a large bowl blend together ground chuck, remaining 2 teaspoons soy sauce, remaining tablespoon lime juice, coriander, gingerroot, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste until just combined. Form mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties. When forming patties, handle meat as little as possible for a juicier burger.
- Prepare grill.
- Grill burgers on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals about 4 1/2 minutes on each side for well-done. (Alternatively, burgers may be cooked in a hot well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or ridged grill pan.) Toast sesame buns. Transfer burgers to buns and top with peanut sauce and lettuce.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your burgers. Use fresh, high-quality beef, vegetables, and peanut sauce.
- Season your beef well: Don't be afraid to season your beef liberally with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out the flavor of the meat.
- Cook your burgers to your desired doneness: Burgers can be cooked to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. Cook them to your desired doneness, but be careful not to overcook them, as this will make them dry and tough.
- Toast your buns: Toasting your buns will help to give them a crispy texture and prevent them from getting soggy. You can toast them in a toaster, on a griddle, or in the oven.
- Assemble your burgers with your favorite toppings: Once your burgers are cooked, you can assemble them with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and bacon. You can also add a fried egg or avocado for a more decadent burger.
