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)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine peanut butter, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, lime juice, and minced garlic.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Taste the sauce and, if desired, add Sriracha or chili garlic sauce for a hint of heat.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Transfer the peanut sauce to a serving bowl and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Step 7
If desired, garnish the sauce with crushed peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Step 8
Serve alongside fresh Vietnamese spring rolls as a dipping sauce. Enjoy!
