Description

A quick and easy 8-ingredient peanut sauce that comes together in 5 minutes! Perfect with spring rolls, grilled meats, noodles, or just as a dip for veggies! Vegan & soy-free.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (crunchy or creamy – you pick!)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons sweet red chili sauce
  • 2 medium-sized garlic cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons hot water


Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a food processor until they are blended smoothly together and you’ve reached your desired consistency (see notes).
  2. Dip, eat, enjoy!

Notes

I like to add the water last so I can control how thick or thin the sauce is (ie. thicker for dipping or thinner for noodle dishes).

If you prefer your sauce to be a little spicier, add more of the red chili sauce. Prefer it to be sweeter? Add more brown sugar.

This peanut sauce can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for about a week.
