Ingredient Notes

Peanut Butter – I prefer to use creamy (unsweetened) peanut butter, but you can also use the chunky kind if you want more texture in the sauce.

Soy sauce – use low-sodium soy sauce, or tamari for a gluten-free option.

Gochujang – for the spiciness, I use Gochujang (コチュジャン), a red chili paste popular in Korean cooking. You can substitute it with another chili sauce, like Sriracha or Sambal sauce. Or, simply leave it out if you don’t want the sauce to be spicy.

Rice vinegar – rice vinegar (米酢) has a milder, slightly sweeter taste than regular vinegar. If you don’t have rice vinegar, subsititute it with white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.

How to make Peanut Sauce

The entire process is extremely simple.

1. Add all the ingredients to a food processor, and blend until you get a creamy, smooth sauce. If you don’t have a food processor or blender, you can whisk all the ingredients in a bowl. Just make sure to whisk well to combine all the ingredients.
2. Adjust the amount of water to add, depending on the consistency you desire. To use the sauce as a dip or a spread, a thick and creamy consistency works best. For noodle sauces or salad dressings, you want the sauce to be a bit thinner and runnier.

How to Serve and Store

You can serve this sauce with pretty much any kind of dish.

• spring rolls
• veggie sticks
• noodles
• buddha bowls
• salads
• crispy tofu

My personal favorite dishes using this delicious this peanut sauce are Vegan Pad Thai and Vegan Satay.
