Peanut plants thrive in the hot climate of Southeast Asia, where ground peanut sauces have become a staple in the cuisine. Peanuts were first introduced to the region by the Spanish who brought them over from Mexico. The smooth richness of peanuts works perfectly with the bright tangy flavors of fresh lime, garlic, and sriracha. A dash of fish sauce adds a characteristic funkiness, but if fish sauce is hard to find soy sauce will add a..

Cumin and dried oregano are classic chili spices, and a dash of red pepper flakes kicks up the heat a notch.
