Peanut Sauce (Nuoc Leo)

Recipe Ingredients

2		Garlic - chopped
2		Chicken livers
2 tablespoons	30ml	Vegetable oil
2 tablespoons	30ml	Dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons	30ml	Sugar
2 tablespoons	30ml	Crunchy peanut butter
2 teaspoons	10ml	Sesame paste
1/4		Red chile - seeded & chopped
		Water

Recipe Instructions

Saute the garlic and chicken livers in the oil until very darkly colored.

Grind to a thick paste and return to the pan with the remaining ingredients. Simmer, adding water to make a thick sauce, for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Use as a dip for various roasted meats and meatballs and to spread over rice paper before wrapping cooked ingredients or salad.

A variation to this sauce uses tamarind pulp instead of the livers to give a tart tasting sauce.
