Full of gingery, garlicky flavor, with a kick of sambal, peanut sauce is perfect on noodles, salads, or a dip for fresh veggies.
Ingredients for Homemade Peanut Sauce
Peanut Butter: Creamy or crunchy peanut butter works in this recipe. For other nut butter options, try almond butter or cashew butter. Soy Sauce: Adds a savory umami; low-sodium soy sauce, coconut aminos, or tamari can be used in place. Sambal Oelek: Sambal is a delicious garlic chili paste. Replace it with sriracha if needed. Brown Sugar: A little sweetness helps balance the lime and the heat. Lime Juice: Adds a freshness and acidity to the sauce.
Variations
Minced garlic or a teaspoon or two of sesame or chili oil will make a peanut sauce glaze that clings to grilled shrimp and salmon filets.
