  • Add the peanut butter, salt, sweet soya sauce and water. Stir it until the oil comes out. I have to warn you that it takes a little bit long time to get the peanut sauce good and well, because if you set at medium fire or even higher, it will get burn on the bottom parts, and you will get stressed because you have to stir it all the time but still is not good enough and at the end that’s not really tasty. So be patient, set on very low fire and stir it occasionally until it cooks and doing something else in between instead waiting them boiled.
  • The sauce has to be between thick and thin, just add more water if it is too thick or add more peanut butter if it is too thin. Don’t be afraid to add some more things if needed. Through experiment you will become and expert.
