Peanut Sauce Recipe Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter Natural
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium is best, use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten free

- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions
Making Peanut Sauce
- To a medium mixing bowl or food processor bowl, add peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic chili sauce, fresh garlic, fresh ginger and whisk or pulse to combine.
- Add coconut milk or water 1 tablespoon at a time until a thick but pourable sauce is achieved. I normally use 2 about tablespoons for a dipping sauce and up to 4 if using it for a dressing. Can add more if needed for desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. See notes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
Notes
For added sweetness use more brown sugar.
For heat use chili garlic sauce
For more acidity use lime juice
For saltiness use more soy sauce.
To thin sauce use more coconut milk.
If sauce has become too thin, add more nut butter. To get the right consistency, stir in coconut milk until it is how you want it. If refrigerated, warm in the microwave for 10 seconds before serving to thin it back out some, as the peanut butter will solidify and it will be very thick.
