Vietnamese Peanut Dipping Sauce
Description
This sauce combines neutral cooking oil, garlic, hoisin sauce, peanut butter, water, and sambal chile paste for a balanced mix of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors. Garlic is lightly browned in oil to release its fragrance before adding the wet ingredients. Bringing the sauce to a boil intensifies the flavors. Immediately after boiling, the heat is turned off and sambal chile paste is stirred in, ensuring its heat remains vibrant. As it cools, the sauce thickens, creating a texture suitable for dipping.
Traditionally, this dipping sauce accompanies Vietnamese dishes like fresh spring rolls, grilled meats, or tofu. The optional crushed peanuts sprinkled on top add crunch and deeper peanut flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 5 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp peanut butter smooth
- 1/2 /2 cup water
- 1 tsp sambal chile paste
- 3 tbsp peanuts optional, crushed
Instructions
- Heat pan on medium heat, then add 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil and 4 cloves garlic. Saute until lightly browned.
- Add the rest of the ingredients except the chile paste (5 tbsp hoisin sauce, 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter, 1/2 cup water) and mix to combine.
- Turn the heat up to medium high, and bring to a boil.
- Once it hits a boil immediately shut off the heat and add the 1 tsp sambal chile paste. The sauce will thicken a lot as it cools.
- Optional: top with a little bit of 3 tbsp crushed peanuts split among each dipping bowl.
