Who doesn’t love peanut sauce?  Sweet and savory and everything delicious.  It is a common accompaniment to many Thai and Indonesian dishes and can be used to dip or drizzle over all you favorite asian dishes .    Here, chicken is marinated in a peanut sauce, stir-fried and then served with brown rice and some asian roasted asparagus along with an extra side of peanut sauce, of course.  Hungry, yet?  Enjoy!
