Best Peanut sauce for home cooking

What Peanut sauce is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.

Why cooks start here

The satay dip: groundnut, chile, and a little sweet.

In 3 ComidaTime kitchens, including Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese, Peanut sauce is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.

Taste Peanut sauce before you empty the spoon. Fresh jars smell like themselves; tired ones smell like dust. Buy the smallest amount you will finish.
