directions

For Thai Honey-Peanut Sauce: In a large bowl or in a food processor, combine all ingredients until well blended. Refrigerate, covered, overnight to blend flavors.

Serve at room temperature as an accompaniment to the Stir-Fry. Reserve 3/4 cup of the sauce to be used in the stir fry recipe.

For Sea Scallop and Peanut Stir-Fry: Cook the rice (can be substituted with any rice: jasmine, Basmati, etc.) until not quite done. Drain, set aside and gently fold in the diced pimientos.

Blanche the string beans until tender.

In a wok or large skillet, stir-fry sea scallops and vegetables in hot oil for 3-5 minutes or until crisp tender. Add red pimientos, rice and reserved stir-fry sauce; toss gently to coat.

Heat through, sprinkle with chopped peanuts and serve immediately with a side dish of Thai Honey peanut sauce and a sprig of baby spinach.
