This is a sauce my grandmother used to make. Meant to be served over mixed greens or can even be used as a cocktail dip. I like it over a mixture of steamed rice, egg, and steamed vegetables. Awesome!

      Made this and used lower fat peanut butter; worked really well. Fantastic as a side salad to chicken and rice. Also good as an appetizer!

        I absolutely love the sweet and complex flavor of this sauce. It is delicious with all types of raw vegetables. It also helps cut a very spicy dish, so try it served alongside one of those.

          Gado-gado is one of my favourite meals. We used to use whole fried peanut instead of peanut butter, here in Indonesia.
          This is a variation

            Yum ; I usually do not care for many American recipes as they usually contain at least one ingrediant that is store bought and mass produced ; that is not home cooking ... But this Gado Gado recipe can easily be forgiven for using Peanut Butter .
            Thank You Kindly !

                      Hi Mihir!

                      Awesome recipe - reminds me of my Big Acres Chipotle Peanut Sauce! Check out the recipe on my page for Chipotle Peanut Chicken Tostadas - this sauce is perfect for this recipe!
