Has anyone had 'Ohana's peanut sauce at Disney's Polynesian Resort?

I have an old newspaper copy of the recipe, but it's a large amount and I can't be bothered breaking it down to make a smaller batch if it's just "okay."

This recipe starts with 14 oz of peanut butter and 16 oz of soy sauce and there is no universe in which I need that much peanut sauce.

There are sites where you can enter your ingredients then ask for it broken down to your needs.

Thanks, Karen. I can break this one down to 1/4 easily. I was more

concerned about getting a validation for the taste to see if it was worth the ingredients.

Maybe this will help.

It looks yummy but there's no way that makes a quart!

And a full 1/2 cup sugar sounds crazy!

I wonder if Disney made peanut butter by just grinding peanuts...so no extra sugar there?

Every time I see this post I read it as "Obama's" peanut sauce!

LOL Can. Ohana is a Hawaiian word meaning family

Meant Cyn- dumb spellcheck

To me this looks like it was a massive quantity recipe that someone later....

Broke down but did it incorrectly. That is a LOT of sugar, for instance. This type of sauce usually has a little sugar but certainly not even CLOSE to that amount. Just my opinion.

Since so many seem to like it, maybe that amount of sugar is the reason for

something different.
The smaller recipe is "close" (but not exactly) 1/4 of the original recipe posted.
