Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

One year ago this week, The Nessy Kitchen went live with Asian Lettuce Wraps and Peanut Sauce as its first recipe! Have you tried them yet? The star of those wraps truly is this tasty peanut sauce and so I decided that it was time that it got its own page with other ideas of how to use it too. I hope you decide to give it a try. And a huge thank you for your support of The Nessy Kitchen so far! <3

Peanut Sauce - The Nessy Kitchen

The Ingredients

  • Peanut Butter– I typically use smooth natural style peanut butter. Feel free to use crunchy if you want to give the sauce some texture. I would add about ½ tablespoon more peanut butter if using crunchy.
  • Coconut Aminos– You can also use soy sauce.
  • Lime Juice
  • Garlic Powder
  • Ground Ginger
  • Red Pepper Flakes- You could use a couple dashes of hot sauce such as sriracha instead.
  • Water

The Method

  1. Whisk together all of the ingredients until combined.

Leftover Storage

Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months. You may need to stir in a bit of additional water.

Ways to Use Peanut Sauce

There are so many ways to use this tasty sauce! As a dip for vegetables, as a sauce on fresh spring rolls, drizzled on lettuce wraps, as a salad dressing or try it in place of the sauce in this stir fry!
