How to Make Katjang Sauce Peanut Sauce
- Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped onion, minced garlic, and brown sugar.
- Mash the mixture with the back of a spoon to create a paste.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over very low heat.
- Add the onion and garlic paste to the saucepan and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in the sambal oelek, paprika, and ginger powder. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the peanut butter and stir until well combined and smooth.
- Gradually whisk in the ketjap manis and coconut milk (or regular milk).
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 10-15 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a little more milk until it reaches your preferred consistency.
- Serve warm with your favorite dishes like satay, noodles, or vegetables.
