Vietnamese Peanut Sauce

This simple Vietnamese Peanut Sauce is made with just 3 ingredients (plus water to thin it) and is a classic dipping sauce for spring rolls, but it's also delicious stir-fried with beef, chicken, shrimp, or veggies.

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, and garlic. Stir in warm water to thin to desired consistency. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts if desired.

Notes

  • Hoisin sauce: This thick, salty-sweet soybean-based condiment is common in Asian cooking. Lee Kum Kee is a popular brand.
  • Peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter is classic, but nobody will stop you from grabbing the chunky kind if that's your preference.
  • Yield: This recipe makes about 1 cup sauce, enough for 8 servings, 2 tablespoons each.
  • Storage: Store leftover sauce in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
