Defatted peanut flour is the hidden gem in this recipe. I love making peanut sauces but peanut butter is not very miscible with soy sauce or vinegar so making the sauces can be difficult. While peanut flour is available in grocery stores it's often quite expensive - you can buy a bag off Amazon more reasonably.
