Description

"I could drink this peanut sauce! I make the sauce at least every other week even if I don't make the rest of the dish!" Readers agree (thanks, Dina!) that this is the best ever tested and perfected peanut sauce . Drizzle it on grilled chicken or tofu, buddha bowls, peanut noodles with broccoli, pad Thai stir fry, or as a sauce for roasted veggies!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond, coconut or soy milk
  • 3 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp minced fresh ginger (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 tsp sriracha, more to taste

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth and adjust flavor to taste, adding more maple for sweetness, rice vinegar if you want more brightness, more soy sauce for umami/salty, or even garlic if you fancy. It will thicken in the fridge.
  2. Store for up to one week in the fridge!
