Spicy Peanut Sauce

I think I found this in a Fannie Farmer cookbook. Try it as a dipping sauce for spring rolls, or on pasta with chicken, green onions and red peppers. One of our favorite restaurants, 29 East Main in Los Gatos, CA makes a Thai Chicken Pizza using a sauce that's very similiar. Spread a thin layer on top of the pizza crust, then top with chunks of grilled hicken, red peppers, green onions, sesame seeds and cilantro pesto.
Enjoy...
