The Peanut Sauce

We had a family Fondue New Year's Day Party. Tanya and I worked on a Peanut Sauce that was a hit, but we won't ever be able to totally recreate. However, these are about the basic ingredients and amounts

1 1/2 Cups of Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter
1 Can of unsweetened Coconut Milk
The juice and zest of two limes
1 cup of Soy Sauce
4 tablespoons ORIENTAL Chili Sauce. Do NOT use Mexican products. It won't taste as well.
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
1-2 tablespoons of dried onion, although I did have in mind to use a shallot, but forgot to get it.
1-3 cloves garlic
1-3 tablespoons Hot Chili Sesame Oil
4-6 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds.
A few splashes of good rice wine vinegar(we used one of Tanya's flavoured ones, but this would work fine)

Just mix. We heated it, and that is when the flavours really "burst". Most ended up eating it on their salads!
