Instructions
- In a bowl add peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey.
- Grate ginger and garlic into the bowl.
- Whisk until everything comes together.The sauce initially will be thick in consistency. You need to bring it to drizzle-able consistency. Add water or coconut water or coconut milk as required to thin down the sauce and make it drizzle-able.Cook’s Tip: The consistency of the sauce can be adjusted according to how you want to use it. Drizzle-able salad dressing can be an in-pourable consistency. For dipping purposes, keep the sauce consistency slightly thick. It works great for dipping spring rolls, vegetables, or chicken satay!
- Serve sauce as a dip for vegetable sticks, spring rolls, or chicken satay. Drizzle it over salads bowls, and lettuce wraps. You can use this sauce as a marinade for tofu or tempeh.
- Leftover sauce can be stored in the fridge for about a week.
Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Use natural unsweetened peanut butter and low-sodium soy sauce for best results.
- Do not use garlic or ginger powder in place of fresh ingredients. Nothing can be compared to the taste fresh ingredients give. Use only freshly grated ginger and garlic.
- To make spicy sauce, increase sambal oelek (red chili paste) in the recipe.
- To make it close to Thai sauce use coconut milk and sambal oelek in place of water and regular red chili paste.
- Adjust the consistency of the sauce as desired. Make it drizzle-able for salads or dressings. Make it a little thick for dipping purposes.
