For as long as I can remember, my Dad has loved to cook. He has some really fantastic recipes that he's always eager to share. Dad's Thai Peanut Sauce is actually made with 8 dried red chilies that are seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. He pours boiling water over them and lets the pot stand for 10 minutes before adding the chilies to the puree. Since I like quick and easy recipes, I modified his steps, and I use red chili flakes, which can be adjusted to suit your spicy desire! Either way, the sauce is awesome and can be used for a variety of vegetable, meat and seafood dishes.
