Today I am sharing one of my favorite and easy Asian-inspired sauce recipes, i.e., Thai Peanut Sauce. You can make it in under 10 minutes and store it for a week in the refrigerator. Use this homemade peanut sauce recipe as a peanut dipping sauce for raw veggies, spring rolls, lettuce wraps, dressing for salads, to make peanut noodles, or with fried tofu.

Thai Peanut Dressing Ingredients

  • Peanut Butter: creamy or crunchy
  • Ginger and Garlic: Use freshly minced ginger and garlic. It gives nice favor don't skip it.
  • Dark soy sauce: Try to use low-sodium soy sauce and if you are looking for gluten-free, use Tamari or also Coconut Aminos to replace the soy sauce.
  • Rice Vinegar: Traditionally, rice vinegar is used for this sauce, if you don't have it, use white or apple cider vinegar.
  • Toasted Sesame oil: Adding sesame oil gives an Asian flavor to the sauce and is healthy.
  • Lime juice: I used the juice of one lime. Feel free to increase or decrease according to your preference.
  • Sweetener: You can use either maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar, and it's optional.
  • Hot sauce: use sriracha or red chili sauce. It's optional.
