My comments to the recipe

Peanut butter has always seemed to me heavy, but used to make peanut sauce with all the ingredients of this recipe is great, it gives softness and an excellent taste to the chicken.

Tô is a great accompaniment to this sauce , the flavours combine well .

The dish must be a little spicy to be faithful to the original taste.It is enough with pepper, but if you're brave and like spicier , you can add hot peppers .


Where to buy the ingredients

Peanut butter can be found in many places in Lavapiés, at the area of the street Miguel Servet.

It can also be found in the Chinese stores of General Margallo at Tetuan metro, where you also can find peanut oil . Be careful because there are brands that instead of pure peanut oil sell oil blend .

I bought it at General Margallo 9, Madrid .

Finally the maggi cubes , like the originals , which are those used in these countries. I bought them at Supersol , Alcalá Street, El Carmen underground.
