Peanut Sauce Ingredients
- ½ cup smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar (or honey or pure maple syrup)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or lime juice)
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- ½-1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, to taste
- 3-6 tablespoons warm water
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Bowl: Combine all ingredients except the warm water in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Whisk in Water: Gradually add warm water one tablespoon at a time to thin the sauce out. Continue stirring until you reach your preferred consistency. The sauce should be pourable but still creamy.
- Serve Peanut Sauce: The recipe yields about ¾ cup or 12 tablespoons of sauce. Serve immediately alongside fresh spring rolls, grilled meats, salads, or your favorite dishes for a burst of Thai-inspired flavor.
Notes
- Use smooth peanut butter for the best texture, though crunchy can be used for added texture.
- Adjust the Sriracha amount depending on your desired spice level.
- Rice vinegar can be substituted with lime juice for a tangier flavor.
- This sauce stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- To make it vegan, ensure the sweetener used is plant-based and that soy sauce or Tamari is gluten-free if needed.
