  4. Comments: Throughout Southeast Asia, there are many recipes for peanut sauce, but the Vietnamese version is the lightest one I have ever tasted. It seems which you can have the authentic one only in Vietnam or possibly at home. Most of the time in Vietnamese restaurants, peanut butter is mixed with hoisin sauce and some grnd peanuts are tossed in. The result is very pasty and not very refined. This peanut sauce is true to the original in Vietnam, being fluid and light. The secret is the chicken stock, that lightens the sauce and allows you to taste all the ingredients.
  5. Yield: 2 c.
