Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or chunky, based on preference)
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (fresh, grated)
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili paste (optional, for heat)
- 3 tablespoons warm water
- 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the hoisin sauce and peanut butter. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and brown sugar to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine.
For a spicy kick, stir in the sriracha or chili paste. Adjust the amount based on your heat preference.
Slowly add the warm water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously to achieve your desired sauce consistency. It should be thick yet pourable.
Taste the sauce and adjust the flavors as needed (e.g., more soy sauce for saltiness, rice vinegar for tanginess, or brown sugar for sweetness).
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and, if desired, garnish with chopped peanuts for added texture and presentation.
Serve immediately as a dipping sauce or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Stir well before serving if chilled.
