By popular demand, my satay sauce, which is the accompaniment for my Sweet Potato Satay. You don't need to do anything than put the ingredients into a bowl and whisk like it's your job. It's creamy, smooth, and nutty with warmth from the curry and tart from the lime zest--well-balanced nums. Dip skewered anything into it, serve it with raw veggies, pour it over hot noodles, mix it into a stir-fry, you get the idea. Make it, memorize it, then you're on the easy train.
Crushed peanuts are perfectly acceptable on top of the sauce in place of sesame seeds.
Notes: Peanut Butter is Jif.
