Dad's Thai Peanut Sauce is actually made with 8 dried red chilies that are seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. He pours boiling water over them and lets the pot stand for 10 minutes before adding the chilies to the puree.
Since I like quick and easy recipes, I modified his steps, and I use red chili flakes, which can be adjusted to suit your spicy desire! Either way, the sauce is awesome and can be used for a variety of vegetable, meat and seafood dishes.

How to Make Shrimp Stir Fry with Dad's Thai Peanut Sauce
- In a sauce pan, heat peanut oil and add pureed mixture. Cook over very low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- In another sauce pan, add rice, water and 1/2 tsp lemon juice. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to very low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. When rice is done, keep covered and set aside.
- Add broccoli to a microwavable dish. Cover and microwave on high for 4 to 6 minutes, depending on your microwave strength. Broccoli should be fork tender when done.
