PORK IN PEANUT SAUCE
A quick and easy, delicious way to serve pork! Can be served over a bed of chopped romaine for a low-carb meal, or noodles for the traditionalists. The oil you use will make all the difference: the peanuttier the better; an obscure brand from the ethnic section of the supermarket is usually a better bet than one of the cheaper, mass-market varieties.

INDONESIAN PORK SATéS WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
Steps:
- Pork Satés
- To make the satés, mix the garlic, ginger, oil, and ketjap manis in a medium bowl and add the pork cubes. Stir to coat with marinade; set aside. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
- To make satés, thread the pork (4-5 cubes per skewer) onto the soaked wooden skewers. Grill or broil for 2-3 minutes on each side. Serve with the warm peanut sauce and a garnish of sliced radishes or cilantro sprigs.
- Spicy Peanut Sauce
- Place the peanut butter, garlic, chile paste, and ketjap manis in a small pot and warm gently over low heat for about 4 minutes. Stir in the Chicken Stock or water slowly, adding a little at a time; the mixture will thicken after each addition as it warms. This sauce can be made ahead of time and kept warm or rewarmed. You will need to add more liquid when ready to serve, as the peanut butter will thicken while standing. The sauce should have a thick, creamy consistency but be loose enough to stir easily. The seasonings can be adjusted to your personal taste; we like it a little spicy.
THE BEST INDONESIAN PEANUT SAUCE
This recipe comes from the vegetarian times and is actually a vegan recipe, though I am not either of those things :-). I made this because I just LOVE peanut sauces and this is the best one I have had, not to mention how simple it was to make! I used reduced fat peanut butter and it didn't seem to affect the recipe at all. It will keep up to a week or so in the fridge and personally, I like to either toss it with noodles and chicken or serve it with chicken chunks over brown rice. I don't like things spicy and this was perfect. I also saute the chicken chunks in 1 tsp sesame oil just to enhance the flavor. It makes quite a bit of sauce, I would say it serves 6! Enjoy!

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a combination of pork shoulder and pork belly. The shoulder will provide a rich, meaty flavor, while the belly will add a layer of fat that will keep the pork moist and tender.
- Be sure to brown the pork well before adding the peanut sauce. This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of peanut sauce to your liking. If you like a thicker sauce, add more peanut butter. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add more water or coconut milk.
- Serve the pork with a variety of sides, such as steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a fresh salad.
