Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1½ tablespoons sambal oelek
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 stalk lemongrass, bottom portion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor or blender with ¼ cup warm water and process until smooth.

Notes
Use fresh lemongrass whenever possible — the bottom pale yellow portion has the most aroma and flavor. Bruise it with the back of your knife before slicing to release its natural oils for maximum impact.
