Peanut Dressing

 

I first had this dressing at a Chinese Restaurant my brother-in-law took me to for lunch. I absolutely fell in love with it so much that the owner sent me home with a container of it for my own use. Once I got it home I disected it and came up with recipe. My brother-in-law admitted that it was the best he'd ever tasted and was spot on to the restaurants dressing. This versatile dressing also works wonders as a marinade, dip, or stir-fry sauce!
