Mean's Thai Curry Peanut Sauce

"Mean Chef " is the cybername of the first rate chef that shared this recipe on a food discussion forum I frequent.  It is as delicious as it is simple to prepare.  Cutting back on the curry paste will reduce the heat but will also change the flavor.

Whisk all ingredients over low heat until blended.    Allow to cool before serving.

Mark's Thai Peanut Sauce

This comes from a dear family friend.  He developed this recipe while working at a restaurant in Sarasota, New York.

Whisk the peanut butter and boiling water until thoroughly mixed. Add remaining ingredients, combine thoroughly and allow to chill in the fridge.
