What can you use Peanut Sauce for?

Up until a few years ago, I really didn’t have much experience with Thai food. After discovering an amazing Thai restaurant right near my house, however, I am not sure how I ever survived without some of these delicious flavors!

My favorite flavor combination of all time is Thai peanut sauce. The combination of sesame oil, peanut butter, and soy sauce just makes my mouth incredibly happy. The thing I love most about this Thai peanut sauce recipe is that it can be used to grill chicken, pour over salads, as a dip, or as a sauce for your favorite noodle dish.

It takes only a few simple ingredients to make and absolutely zero cooking. If you enjoy the flavor of Thai peanut sauce, this recipe was a huge hit at dinner tonight!

*NOTE:  If you want to use this Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce as a salad dressing, add a small amount of water until you reach the desired consistency.

Peanut Sauce Ingredients

Making your own peanut sauce from scratch means that you can skip the questionable ingredients of store bought ones.  Even the best peanut sauces on the shelf are highly processed.  Here are the ingredients you need to make your own peanut sauce homemade:

• 1/4 cup high quality peanut butter
• 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 3 TBSP rice wine vinegar
• 1 TBSP brown sugar
• up to 1 TBSP sriracha (depending on taste)
• 1 TBS sesame oil
• 2 TBSP sesame seeds

How to make your own peanut sauce

Making your own Spicy Thai peanut sauce is incredibly easy.  Just combine all ingredients into a large bowl and whisk briskly until completely smooth and combined.  Use it as a sauce for noodles, to baste chicken with on the grill, or as a dip. To use this as a salad dressing, thin slightly with water to desired consistency.
