Ingredients

Peanut Sauce Ingredients

  • ½ cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, honey, or pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • ½-1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, to taste
  • 3-6 tablespoons warm water

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add ½ cup smooth peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, honey, or pure maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice. Mix well to combine all the base ingredients.
  2. Add Garlic and Sriracha: Stir in the finely minced garlic clove and ½ to 1 teaspoon of Sriracha sauce, adjusting the amount according to your preference for heat. Mix thoroughly to distribute flavors.
  3. Adjust Consistency: Gradually whisk in 3 to 6 tablespoons of warm water until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency that's ideal for dipping spring rolls.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust any ingredients to suit your preference — add more soy sauce for saltiness, more sweetener for sweetness, or more Sriracha for spice.
  5. Serve: Transfer the peanut sauce to a small serving bowl and serve alongside fresh spring rolls for dipping.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or salt for a healthier sauce.
  • Adjust Sriracha quantity carefully based on your tolerance for spice.
  • For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey and ensure the soy sauce or Tamari is vegan.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add more warm water gradually to thin it out.
  • Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
