My initial plan was to make something to accompany the Thai Sate Chicken that I’m making for my girls that night. Pad Thai was the first that came to mind, however, I made something Asian the day before. So I wanted to have a little western influence for the benefit of the husband. Pasta then came to mind, but with what sauce?! As I cracked my head thinking about what would be a nice sauce to compliment the Thai Sate Chicken… I saw it staring at me… I’ve already made it. My Spicy Peanut Sauce as a dipping sauce for the sate chicken. I had more than enough for dipping and to make a sauce for the pasta. It was a deliciously interesting dish, the husband, kids, and I liked it. The base sauce wasn’t very spicy to began with so the kids were able to have some of it. Perhaps next time I might try adding light cooking cream to the sauce instead of coconut milk.
