Easy peanut sauce recipe that's creamy, a little sweet, a little spicy, and made with simple ingredients you probably already have on hand.
Servings: 1 -1/2 cups
Calories: 96kcal
Equipment
- blender or stick immersion blender (or a whisk)
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup soy sauce*
- 1/2 cup peanut butter feel free to add more if you like a really peanutty sauce...
- 1/4 cup honey brown sugar or coconut/palm sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar + 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar (OR 3 tablespoons all rice vinegar or all apple cider vinegar)**
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger (or 1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger)
- 1/2 to 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce (start with 1/2 teaspoon and work up from there to your preferred spice level)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and whirl until mixed.
- Alternately, add ingredients to a jar and blend with a stick immersion blender until smooth. (Or simply stir with a whisk until as smooth as possible.)
- Pour into a glass jar and keep in the refrigerator for about a month.
Notes
*This amount is for a pourable sauce for noodles and stir-fries, and may need to be a bit thicker for dipping - reduce the soy sauce to 1/2 cup for a thicker sauce.
**The different vinegars are based off the store-bought sauce I based this recipe on - you can choose to use both or simply use only one.
