Peanut sauce/peanut salad dressing
Alan,
I'm not sure if your heart is set on making this from scratch, as opposed to buying it pre-made. But I'm a big fan of my local Asian markets here in Boston, and I recently purchased a bottle of peanut sauce/dressing which makes for a great beef marinade. Just a thought. -Jen |

Dear Jen: Thanks for the tip. I often travel to Boston to visit a
friend. Would love to know of any good Asian markets in the area where I can pick up ingredients, such as fried tofu and various sauces. Do you shop in Chinatown or elsewhere? Your suggestions would be welcomed! Thanks. Alan |

The jarred sauce won't taste anywhere as good as a homemade peanut sauce and as you said it is such an easy sauce to make. |

Peanut sauce/peanut salad dressing
Hi Alan,
I live in Quincy (Just south of Boston on I-93), which is referred to as "Chinatown South" here in Boston. There's a massive Asian mall called the Kam Man Market here in Quincy, and if you can get there it's worth a trip. Besides the Asian supermarket that anchors it, there are various little department store type spots in there that sell various kinds of cookware, tableware, art, etc. In the Boston area, there are a couple of places I like. In Chinatown proper is a supermarket called C-Mart (and I like this one bakery called Bao Bao), and there's a chain called Super 88 which are kind of scattered around town. I don't know of anything in Charlestown, since I don't shop much in that area. -Jen |

Jeez Steve....way to squash a girl's spirit. It was only a suggestion
for the marinating, as it has some acid in it. -Jen |
