Thai Peanut Dressing

Thai Peanut Dressing~

Peanuts in any dressing add a distinct heaviness to it, which is thankfully very healthy sans the guilt of consuming something fattening. The Thais love their vegetables and along with an expansive variety of vegetables they also have a popular dressing, which can be consumed anywhere, anytime of the year!

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger,
• 4 tablespoons of creamy peanut mash (roast about 200 g peanuts then make a paste of them),
• ¼ cup of fresh lemon juice,
• 2 teaspoons of soy sauce,
• 1 teaspoon of fish sauce,
• 1 tablespoon of honey,
• 4 tablespoons of water.

Directions:

1. Blend the ginger, peanut mash, lemon juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, honey and water until smooth and creamy. 
2. You can make it alternately thicker by adding less water to go with certain dishes. 
3. You can store in the refrigerator for about two weeks.

Serving:

Use the thicker form of the dressing for grilled meat skewers, while serve the slightly watery one as a dip with chopped raw vegetables and even potato wedges.
