2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots or 1/4 cup scallion (white part only)
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup shelled peanuts, finely ground in an electric blender or food processor
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark molasses
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon finely grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon finely chopped hot chili peppers or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, to taste

Steps:

Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and cook the shallots and garlic 3 to 4 minutes, until they are soft and transparent but not brown.
Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil over high heat.
Add the ground peanuts, soy sauce, molasses, lime juice, ginger, and chilies or cayenne.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Allow to cool slightly before serving with chicken satay or satay ayam (see my recipe posted on this site).
