The Best Peanut Sauce

I made this Asian noodle salad with peanut sauce and while I thought the salad needed a little tweaking (mainly, I wished I’d used regular white pasta instead of whole grain), the sauce was some of the best I’ve had. Make this with your favorite Asian salad and enjoy!

Chinese Peanut Dressing
One 1/2-inch-thick slice fresh ginger, peeled and sliced in half, or about 1 tsp. ground ginger
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon hot Chinese chile garlic sauce, or more to taste
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter, or more if necessary
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 ½ Tbsp. sugar
2 ½ Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
5 tablespoons chicken broth or water, or more if necessary

In a food processor, finely chop the ginger and garlic (or just the garlic if using ground ginger). Add the remaining ingredients in the order listed and process until smooth. The dressing should be the consistency of heavy cream. If it is too thick, add more water or chicken broth; if too thin, add more peanut butter.
