Peanut Sauce Ⓥ

Peanut sauce is always good, and this particular recipe is also very quick and simple.

Yield: 1 cup

Time: 5 minutes

Tools

  • saucepan or wok
  • whisk

Ingredients

  • ½ c peanut butter, preferably unsweetened
  • ¼ c brown rice vinegar
  • 2 T chopped cilantro, chives, or scallions
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-2 T soy sauce
  • 2 t light brown sugar (unless peanut butter is sweetened)
  • 1 t chili oil, chili powder, or paprika
  • ¼ – ½ c warm water

Directions

Over medium-low heat, whisk together everything, including ¼ c water.

Taste and adjust seasonings, then gradually whisk in more water until desired consistency. Serve.

Notes

Peanut sauce thickens as it cools off, so you may need to add more water if you don’t serve it right away.

This peanut sauce is excellent over fried tofu and fried tempeh.
