I made this spicy asian peanut sauce and it was delicious. It has a bit of a kick but not too spicy. I added chopped green onion to mine and served it on noodles for a quick weekend lunch.

Yes! This was super easy, turned out great in my blender (crushmaster) and had just the right zip and tickles (spicy!)the back of your mouth at the end! I will definitely make it again!
