This smooth sauce balances nutty peanut butter with toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, and a touch of rice vinegar for brightness. Whisk in warm water to reach a pourable consistency, then use it for noodle salads, spring rolls, or as a satay-style dip for grilled meats and vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/3 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey until smooth.

  2. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes, and whisk to combine.

  3. Whisk in the warm water, a little at a time, until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.

  4. Stir in the toasted sesame seeds. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce, honey, or water as needed.

  5. Transfer to a jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; stir well before each use.
