Peanut Sauce
Several Asian cultures make a version of peanut sauce. This one may not be the most authentic, but it’s really, really good. Serve it as a dipping sauce, over cold noodles, tossed in a salad, or with our summer rolls.
What to buy: Look for hoisin sauce and chile-garlic paste in the Asian section of your supermarket. For the chile paste, we prefer the one made by Huy Fong Foods (with the rooster on the jar!).
Game plan: You can make this sauce a day ahead. Just keep it refrigerated in a covered container. Let it sit for a bit at room temperature before serving.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup natural-style creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 small garlic clove, mashed to a paste
- 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup water
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Stir until well combined, adding more water to thin the sauce if necessary.
- Note: We like to use natural peanut butter for this recipe. If you use the conventional kind, add less sugar to the sauce.
