1. If you prefer it served in the traditional way (served cold), leave chicken covered in a bowl in the fridge for 30-45 minutes.
2. Melt Meraki Szechuan Mala Butter in microwave on high for 30 seconds, covered to prevent excessive splattering.
3. Combine with remaining Mala Sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside to cool.

5. Spoon Mala Sauce over chicken and mix well to coat. Garnish generously with roasted peanuts, cilantro leaves and sliced chili padi if using.
