1. Heat medium sized sauce pot over high heat, adding canola and sesame oil.
2. Place all ingredients except for coconut milk and peanut butter in hot oil, reduce heat to medium, and sweat until the aromatics are released, letting the ingredients get to know each other (about 10-15 minutes).
3. Add coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer on low for 8 minutes.
4. Add in peanut butter and simmer for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until peanut butter is melted and completely incorporated into sauce.
5. Place mixture in blender and blend on high until semi smooth. Thin with warm water if needed. Final consistency should be a thick yet fluid puree with small particle definition that easily coats the back of a spoon.
6. Serve warm.
