Ingredients
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter - see Recipe Note 1
- ¼ cup lite coconut milk - see Recipe Note 2; can substitute with water
- 1 ½ Tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 ½ Tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon chopped peanuts - for garnish
- 1 Tablespoon chili garlic sauce - (optional)
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients (except for the chopped peanuts) in a medium size bowl and mix it together until the peanut sauce is smooth and creamy. Depending on how thick your peanut butter is, you may need to add more coconut milk or water to get the desired consistency.
- Garnish with chopped peanuts and chili garlic sauce if desired. Makes about ¾ cup of sauce.
Notes
- I used all natural peanut butter for this recipe. If your peanut butter has added sugar, you may not need to add more sugar. I recommend tasting first before adding additional sugar.
- You can use any variety of coconut milk but full fat coconut milk will make the sauce thicker so you may need to thin it out with water. If you don't have coconut milk, feel free to substitute with water.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Serve with fresh vegetarian summer rolls.
