Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup peanuts roasted
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3-5 garlic
  • 5-6 shallots
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ cup oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a saucepan and add sliced garlic and shallots. Cook until golden brown.
  • Remove and set aside.
  • Coarsely crush peanuts and add to a bowl with fried shallots and garlic and remaining ingredients.
  • Pour the hot oil into the bowl and mix well. Rest for a few minutes and store in a glass jar.

Notes

  • Make sure you keep the heat medium-low while deep frying the shallots and garlic. You don't want them to burn.
  • Make sure you thinly slice the shallots and garlic to help them get to that gorgeous golden brown color quickly.
  • To add a bit of umami depth to the sauce, sometimes, I add half a teaspoon of mushroom powder as well.
  • You can also add a splash of vinegar into the mix to balance out the other flavors if you want to.
