Use this homemadeย peanut sauceย 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, useย Tamariย or alsoย Coconut Aminosย to replace the soy sauce.
    • Rice Vinegar:ย 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:ย You can use either maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar, and it's optional.
    • Hot sauce:ย use srirachaย or red chili sauce. It's optional.
