    Peanut Sauce

    Published: Dec 29, 2021 by Janessa

    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!

    Dietary Notes

    If you have dietary restrictions, check the packaging of specific ingredients that you use to ensure they are compliant. This recipe is:

    • Dairy Free
    • Gluten Free
    • Nut Free / Paleo - If you use sunflower seed butter in place of peanut butter.
    • Vegetarian
    • Vegan
