2 Comments:

I usually add ginger to my peanut sauces as well. I usually thin the peanut butter with just water, no sesame oil or garlic infused oil. I think most peanut butters already have enough oil to make the sauce work.

Im unfamiliary with the 'sweet chili sauce' called for in the recipe. Help....
