Peanut Sauce
Description
The Peanut Sauce combines creamy peanut butter as a base with the salty depth of soy sauce, bright acidity from rice vinegar, and gentle sweetness from honey. Sesame oil adds a toasty undertone, while fresh grated ginger and minced garlic provide fresh pungency and aromatic warmth. Chili oil lends mild heat, adjustable to taste.
Your sauce will have a thick but smooth consistency, easily whisked by hand or processed for extra smoothness. It can be used as a dipping sauce for fresh spring rolls or air-fried vegetables, a dressing for Asian-style salads or bowls, or a coating sauce for noodles and stir-fried tofu.
This versatile sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week, allowing flavors to meld. It also freezes well for up to two months and should be thawed in the fridge before reheating gently for best texture.

- 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari, low-sodium
