My Special Sauce

Due to popular demand, I am revealing my special-power-sauce-that-makes-everything-taste-amazing to the cyber world. I grew up in America, so yes, I'm a big junkie for sauces and despite my shameless food snobbery, I am willing to admit that sometimes I do engage in the blasphemous treatment of vegetables as solely a vehicle for sauce.

There are several variations of this sauce, but the basic ingredients are as follows:

Peanut Butter
Rice Vinegar, Lime Juice, or both
Soy Sauce
Cilantro, or Green Onions, or both
Ginger, Garlic, or both
Tahini (optional)
Sesame Seeds (optional)
Splash of water

The key is to not add too much soy sauce rice vinegar, but also to tame the peanut butter and/or tahini by adding a little water. Chop your fresh herbs, garlic and ginger finely. Tastes best over buckwheat noodles, rice noodles, with of course, a bountiful array of sauteed veggies.
