Sos Kacang
This is the Malaysian version of peanut sauce. It's a lot like Thai peanut sauce but does not have coconut milk added. A delicious sauce a little different from the norm.
This recipe is adapted from Chef Dahni's Southeast Asian Flavors - An adventure learning to cook the foods of Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore.
1/2 cup dried red chili peppers stems and seeds removed
1 tsp dried shrimp
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 medium shallots roughly chopped
1/2 cup fresh lemon grass trimmed and sliced very thin
2 garlic cloves chopped
1 1/2 cup peanuts roasted in dry pan
3 cup water
3/4 cup white sugar
2 tsp kosher salt
Recipe Method
1. Cover chilies and shrimp with 1 cup room temperature water; soak 30 minutes. Drain well.
2. Make a semi-smooth spice paste (rempah) by pureeing the oil, shallots, garlic, lemongrass, galangal, drained dried shrimp, and chilies in a blender.
3. Heat a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add pureed rempah; cook on medium heat until mixture is fragrant and oil begins to separate out from it, about 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Add water and peanuts; stir well. Bring back to a boil, lower heat, and simmer 1 hour, stirring often. Add sugar and salt. Continue to simmer until “raw” flavor has dissipated, up to 2 hours, adding water as needed to compensate for evaporation.
