Instructions
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. After 90 seconds, when the oil is hot, add minced garlic, sriracha, crushed roasted peanuts, and minced bird’s eye chilies. Cook for a couple of minutes until aromatic.
- Add the hoisin sauce, smooth peanut butter, rice vinegar, and boiling water to the pan. Stir continuously until the mixture is well-blended and reaches a smooth consistency. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes, ensuring it thickens to your desired consistency. You can thin it with a small amount of extra water if it is too thick.
- Once it is smooth, remove the Vietnamese Peanut Sauce from the heat and let it cool. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and garnish with additional peanuts and chilies if desired.

Notes
- 🥜 Quality Peanut Butter:
- 🥜
- Choose high-quality, unsweetened smooth peanut butter for a rich flavor. It's the backbone of the sauce; skip brands with added sugars and oils for authentic taste.
- 🔥 Searing Aromatics:
- 🔥
- Quickly sear garlic, sriracha, peanuts, and chilies for aromatic perfection. Find the sweet spot where it has a robust aroma that doesn’t descend into burnt awfulness.
- ’
- 🌊 Perfect Consistency:
- 🌊
- Aim for a smooth, velvety texture. Add hot water gradually if too thick. Achieve the ideal thickness for a Vietnamese Peanut Sauce of your dreams.
- 🥄 Chunky Peanut Butter Option:
- 🥄
- Only got chunky PB on hand? Either use it as is for a chunkier consistency, or blend it with water and hoisin sauce for smoothness before cooking.
