SATE PEANUT SAUCE / KUAH KACANG

This peanut sauce is always associated with Sate and very famous among the South East Asia especially Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Serve best with compressed rice and sate. There are a few variation some with coconut some without. I prefer my sauce without coconut...some even add some beef in the sauce..since we are going to serve this sauce with satay and compressed it is best to make it plain. This sauce is also perfect with barbecues.

Resipi kuah kacang,,,untuk disajikan bersama satay dan nasi impit. Saya buat baru ini sempena dengan perayaan puasa 5 syawal. Saya lebih gemar kuah kacang yang simple dan plain..tanpa santan dan tanpa daging. Kuah satay ini juga sesuai dihidang bersama daging atau ayam bakar mahupun sebagai sos untuk babecue.
