We also had a bottle of "way too hot oh my god ow" Thai peanut sauce, and I'd make it work by mixing a little bit with a couple large spoonfuls of peanut butter, a dash of soy sauce, and just a little warm water to thin it out. It looked pretty dubious until the mess came together into a sauce. Don't know how it would work being cooked in a pan, I always just mixed it in a bowl and added cooked noodles.
