Tips for Making the Best Moosewood Peanut Sauce

- **Use creamy peanut butter.** This will give the sauce a smooth and rich texture. If you only have crunchy peanut butter on hand, you can use it, but be sure to blend it until smooth before adding it to the sauce. - **Toast the peanuts.** This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast the peanuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until they are golden brown and fragrant. - **Use fresh ginger and garlic.** These ingredients will add a lot of flavor to the sauce. If you don't have fresh ginger or garlic on hand, you can use ground ginger and garlic powder, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated. - **Add some spice.** If you like your sauce spicy, you can add some cayenne pepper or chili powder. You can also add some Sriracha sauce or sambal oelek for a more intense heat. - **Simmer the sauce until it is thick and creamy.** This will help the flavors to meld and develop. Be sure to stir the sauce frequently so that it doesn't burn. ###
