Authentic Thai Peanut Sauce Recipe?

I LOVE the peanut sauce you get at authentic Thai restaurants with chicken kabobs or just over rice, or on swimming rama (chicken and spinach smothered in peanut sauce). I've searched the web for years and I've tried tons and tons of recipes, but none of them taste as good as the sauce I get in Thai restaurants. Does anyone have an authentic creamy peanut sauce recipe?Authentic Thai Peanut Sauce Recipe?
I love that peanut sauce as well and have tried various recipes. Below are three that are good, one uses Splenda. You may like one of them.



Spicy Peanut Sauce



1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter

1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon honey

1/2 teaspoon Chinese hot red chili paste

1/2 teaspoon hot chili oil

2 tablespoons red wine

1 teaspoon lime juice or margarita mix

Vegetable oil, to thin if necessary

3 tablespoons water



In a food processor, place all ingredients except only half the water into

the processor and blend until smooth. Add more water and some oil to thin

out the sauce when necessary. Taste the sauce, if it is too thick or

potent, add more water and more honey. Process until smooth and enjoy as

another great dipping sauce for dumplings, wontons and Shu-mai!

1/2 cup chunky or smooth peanut butter

2 garlic cloves, quartered

2 tbsp. soy sauce

2 tbsp. SPLENDA庐 Granular

2 tbsp. rice vinegar

In a food processor, puree all the ingredients to make an almost smooth sauce. If you used chunky peanut butter, the sauce will be more textured but just as delicious.
