The refrigerator light goes on...

This spicy peanut sauce is perfect to top your Asian food like Quinoa Lettuce Wraps or fried rice dishes.

I prefer to use fresh ground peanut butter. Unlike the peanut butter in jars, you don't get all the unnecessary added salt and sugar: just pure peanut flavor.
