I am fully convinced that this homemade peanut sauce recipe is THEE absolute best. And if I’ve found a better one in the future, I’ll be sure to let you know! A little salty, a little sweet, a little spicy, a little tangy… this little number is the whole package. Admittedly, yes, there are a lot of ingredients– but the finished product is worth it!
Enjoy! 
The Best Peanut Sauce Recipe
Peanut Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 inch piece ginger, peeled and trimmed of dry spots
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ cup unsalted peanut butter (if using salted peanut butter, reduce soy sauce to 1 ½ tsp)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 3 ½ tsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 6 tbsp full fat coconut milk
Instructions
- In a food processor, process the ginger and garlic until finely chopped. Add all remaining ingredients and blend, adding more coconut milk if needed. If you’d like a thinner sauce, (perhaps to use as a dressing), add 1-2 tsp of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached. You may also use reduced fat coconut milk for a thinner sauce!
- Use right away, or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
