Peanut Sauce

In the late 1970s, shortly after moving to San Francisco from a refugee camp in Guam, Charles Phan's mother got a job at a sewing shop in Chinatown. She lived in the Mission, so while waiting for the bus with other women, she picked up this recipe for peanut sauce. It's been a crowd favorite ever since. Creamy and thick, this peanut sauce goes well with spring rolls and fresh shrimp.
