Spicy Peanut Sauce
Description
Spicy Peanut Sauce brings together peanut butter and coconut milk to create a rich, creamy base. Lime juice adds brightness and acidity, while fresh ginger and garlic bring aromatic warmth. The sriracha introduces controlled heat that can be adjusted according to taste. Soy sauce contributes saltiness and umami, balanced by the sweetness of brown sugar. Sesame oil offers a subtle nutty depth. Cilantro adds fresh herbal notes, making the sauce well-rounded and lively. The sauce is blended smooth, with water adjusting the consistency for easy drizzling or dipping.
This sauce pairs well with salads, noodles, and grilled vegetables or meats. It can also serve as a dipping sauce for spring rolls or drizzled over cooked pasta for an Asian-inspired twist. The heat level can be tailored by adding sriracha gradually during blending.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup peanut butter $0.82, natural style
- 1/4 cup coconut milk $0.16, optional
- lime juice $0.17, juice from 1/2 lime
- 1 inch ginger $0.24, fresh, peeled, grated, optional
- 1 clove garlic $0.06, minced
- 1 tsp Sriracha sauce $0.05, rooster hot sauce
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce $0.03
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil $0.02, optional
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar $0.03
- 1/4 cilantro $0.17, bunch
- 1/4 /2 cup water $0.00
Instructions
- Make sure your natural style peanut butter is thoroughly mixed before measuring (you don’t want to get all oil or all solids). In a blender or food processor combine all of the ingredients except the sriracha sauce. Begin with only 1/4 cup of water and add more until you get the consistency you want (I used 1/2 cup total). Add the sriracha sauce a little at a time (blending between) until it is to your desired heat (I used about 1/2 tsp).
- Enjoy the peanut sauce on salads, pasta or as a dipping sauce!
