Anyone know a simple recipe for spicy Thai peanut sauce?

I have looked up recipes for it to go with a chicken satay, but I can't find a simple recipe for the sauce that doesn't have things like fish oil or coconut milk, or things I don't have in the house. I would just go out quickly and pick up some coconut milk, but I would only need a bit, and I will likely never use the stuff again.Anyone know a simple recipe for spicy Thai peanut sauce?
I was in the same sitch a while ago and stumbled on this easy recipe, that turned out better than the seriously more complicated ones (and no coconut milk!)



2 Tblsp. Peanut Butter (either kind- up to you on chunkiness scale)

2 Tblsp. Vinegar (ACV for milder, white for more bitterness)

2 Tblsp. Soy Sauce

1 Tblsp. Brown Sugar (either light or dark)

1 tsp. Garlic powder

1/8 tsp. dried powdered Ginger

1/8 tsp. hot pepper flakes



Combine and microwave @ 2-3 minutes.



*You can whisk it easier after like a minute in the microwave.



*This doesn't make a lot, I often double or triple the recipe



*I like more spice so I put in more red pepper flakes (the dried kind that some people put on pizza)



*Do a sample batch and adjust to your tastes for additional, but it's pretty good as-is for most.

Sorry, but for real Thai taste, you'll have to swing by an Asian market and pick up a few essentials. It's an entirely different spice world and you'll have to be equipped if you want it to taste right.



Thai Peanut Sauce:



1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts



1 tablespoon peanut oil, plus more to taste



2 fresh Thai chiles or other small chiles



1 1/2-inch-thick slice fresh ginger



4 garlic cloves



1/3 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk



2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce



4 teaspoons fish sauce



1 teaspoon granulated sugar



1 tablespoon fresh lime juice



Pinch salt (add to taste, as fish sauce can be very salty)



1/2 cup finely minced cilantro leaves and stems



To make the peanut sauce, add the peanuts along with the peanut oil to a food processor. Blend, on high, until the peanuts form a rough paste. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the cilantro; blend until smooth. Stir in the cilantro and thin with peanut oil to taste.
