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
- Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients except the warm water to a medium-sized bowl. Use a whisk to mix until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Adjust Consistency: Gradually add warm water one tablespoon at a time while whisking to thin the sauce. Continue adding water until you reach your preferred consistency, whether thick for dipping or thinner for drizzling.
- Serve: Use immediately as a dipping sauce for fresh spring rolls or as a flavorful addition to your meals. This recipe yields about ¾ cup (12 tablespoons) of Thai Peanut Sauce.
Notes
- You can substitute brown sugar with honey or pure maple syrup for a natural sweetness.
- Adjust Sriracha quantity to control the spice level according to your preference.
- If you prefer a tangier sauce, lime juice works well in place of rice vinegar.
- Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir before using.
- This sauce can be easily doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
