Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional, for spice)
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine peanut butter, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, lime juice, and minced garlic.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Gradually add water, stirring consistently to thin out the sauce to your desired consistency. For a thicker sauce, use less water; for a thinner sauce, add a bit more.
Taste the sauce and, if desired, add Sriracha or chili garlic sauce for a hint of heat.
Once the sauce is fully mixed and warmed through (about 3–5 minutes), remove it from heat. Avoid boiling as this can change the flavor and consistency.
Transfer the peanut sauce to a serving bowl and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
If desired, garnish the sauce with crushed peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Serve alongside fresh Vietnamese spring rolls as a dipping sauce. Enjoy!
