Spicy Peanut Sauce

Peanut sauce is a great option for summer rolls, or a Thai vegetable wrap! All of the ingredients should be available at your nearest grocery store. There are links to some of the less common ingredients.

What You'll Need

• 1/3 cup peanut butter (I use Jif Natural Creamy Peanut Butter)

• 2 tablespoons organic rice wine vinegar (Marukan brand)

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low-sodium)

• 1/2 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (Huy Fong Foods brand)

• 1 teaspoon grated ginger

• 1 tablespoon agave nectar or brown sugar (adjust to your preference)

• Juice from 1/2 lime

Instructions

• Start with the peanut butter. Add in the rice wine vinegar. Slowly add in the soy sauce, and be sure to taste the sauce along the way to make sure it is not too salty. You are looking for a really smooth consistency.

• Add in the chili garlic sauce (adjust based on your spice preferences), grated ginger, agave/brown sugar, and lime juice.

• Serve with summer rolls, spring rolls, or as a base for a Thai veggie wrap!

Tips!

• Less is more with soy sauce. Even though it is the base, you want to make sure it does not over power the sauce.

• The chili paste is very spicy! I would recommend starting with a small amount (even less than the 1/2 tablespoon) and slowly adding in more as you taste the sauce.

• You can add in more or less peanut butter depending on your preferences.

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge. The sauce will thicken in the fridge so you may need to add more rice wine vinegar.
