Peanut Sauce Ingredients

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (129g)
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari (60mL)
3 Tablespoons rice vinegar (45mL)
2 1/2 Tablespoons honey or granulated sugar (53g honey or 31g sugar)
2 1/2 Tablespoons sesame oil (38mL)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (2.7g)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tablespoons chili oil (30mL), adjust for desired heat

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and chili oil until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Alternatively, you can use a food processor to blend the ingredients for a silkier texture.
Use the Sauce: Serve the peanut sauce as a dip for fresh spring rolls, crispy air-fried tofu or vegetables. It also works beautifully drizzled over Asian chicken salads, spring roll bowls, poke bowls, yum yum bowls, or as a flavorful coating for peanut noodles.

Notes

Adjust the amount of chili oil to control the heat level—use less for mild, more for a spicier kick.
If you prefer a vegan option, substitute honey with granulated sugar or agave syrup.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
For a thinner sauce consistency, add a splash of warm water while whisking.
This sauce can be made ahead of time, as the flavors deepen when allowed to sit.
