Make this flavorful, creamy peanut sauce in just five minutes using simple pantry ingredients. It works perfectly as a dipping sauce for vegetables and spring rolls, or as a versatile drizzle for noodles and bowls.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup warm water (or more, for thinning)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha (optional, for mild heat)

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients near your mixing bowl. This sauce comes together very quickly.
  2. Place the peanut butter, warm water, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and Sriracha (if using) into a medium bowl.
  3. Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy.
  4. If the sauce is too thick for your needs, add more warm water, one teaspoon at a time, whisking until you reach your desired consistency for dipping or drizzling.
  5. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if needed; add more maple syrup for sweetness or more soy sauce for saltiness.
  6. Use immediately over noodles, as a salad dressing, or as a dipping sauce for fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store this homemade peanut sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. The sauce will thicken when cold; whisk in a teaspoon of warm water before serving to restore the smooth texture.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, use tamari instead of standard soy sauce.
  • For a richer flavor, use natural, unsweetened peanut butter.
