Healthy Yellow Peanut Sauce

This is my favorite marinade, made into peanut sauce. :)

1 tsp coconut oil,
2 tbsp soy sauce (use low sodium if desired)
3 tbsp minced ginger (in MN the grocery store had jars of minced ginger, here I can't find it so I run ginger root through the food processor)
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp sugar (you can use splenda but the sugar is minimal and it kind of caramelizes..mm)
2 tsp ground turmeric (the magical fluorescent spice, also supposed to have anti-cancer properties)
1 tsp 5-spice powder
1/2 tbsp sea salt
1 cup chunky peanut butter
chicken broth (about 2 cups, maybe more depending on desired consistency)


Heat coconut oil in a med. saucepan, add turmeric, saute a minute, helps remove overly earthy flavor, add the 5-spice powder, garlic, ginger, salt and sugar or splenda. saute a minute to meld flavors. Add soy sauce, stir, then add peanut butter, stir and let it get bubbly and blended. Then gradually add chicken broth, stirring and heating until it is desired consistency. about 2 tbsp is a good serving. Good with chicken :) well, I would eat it with just about anything... :)
