By ArmySister

from 'Ohana, Chef Michael George

Ingredients

• 2 tsp. vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons sweet rice wine
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Preparation

Step 1

In a small nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and cook, stirring freely, for about 7 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Transfer the onion to a blender, add the soy sauce, sweet rice wine, peanut butter, sugar, and sesame seeds and blend until smooth. The sauce may thicken on standing; if desired, thin with water or broth.
Use immediately or store, covered and chilled, for up to two weeks .

Disney Tip: the salad dressing can also be used as a robust marinade for meat or poultry. In fact it makes a great sauce with anything grilled - especially vegetables.
