Dry Seasonings - You’ll need garlic powder, ground ginger, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper for this peanut sauce.Sesame Oil - A little bit of sesame oil goes a long way, so all you need for this recipe is a half of a teaspoon.I like brown sugar because of the molasses flavor it incorporates, so light or dark will work. Brown Sugar - Along with the creamy peanut butter, brown sugar makes the peanut sauce slightly sweet and works beautifully with the lime juice, vinegar, and soy sauce.Rice Vinegar - You can swap the rice vinegar for apple cider vinegar if you don't have any on hand, but the rice vinegar will give you the best flavor.You could substitute with lemon juice, but it will alter the flavor slightly. Lime Juice - Fresh squeezed is best but this is our family's favorite brand of bottled lime juice.But you can substitute natural peanut butter or your preferred nut butter, like almond or cashew. This combination works beautifully with the other ingredients. Peanut Butter - I like to use standard creamy peanut butter because of how smooth it is and because it’s slightly sweet.You can substitute coconut aminos, low-sodium sodium soy sauce or tamari, as well. Soy Sauce - This adds saltiness along with some umami flavor that really makes this sauce sing.If you love this peanut sauce, be sure to check out my Veggie Loaded Sesame Noodles, Vegan Peanut Noodle Salad, and my Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls!.
The fresh flavors in this easy peanut sauce are out of this world - creamy, tangy, peanut butter with a hint of lime, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil makes this peanut sauce better than any store-bought version! There are a lot of great sauces at the grocery store - but when it comes to peanut sauce, homemade is always better!
It's perfect as a dip for fresh spring rolls or a chicken satay sauce paired with fresh pickled carrots and cucumbers! Just a few wholesome ingredients and a couple minutes of prep time (with no fancy kitchen gadgets) are all it takes! And although a whisk will help make it super creamy, a regular old fork will work just fine as well. It depends on whether your peanut butter contains salt, and how salty your coconut aminos (or soy sauce) is. Sea Salt – This is optional, and might not be needed.If you don’t have any, you can try substituting it with apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, or even lime juice. You can use either regular or sugar-free honey. Honey – Sweetens the satay sauce naturally.Coconut Aminos – This is my favorite soy sauce substitute, but you can use low sodium soy sauce or tamari if it fits your lifestyle.You can also substitute 3/4 teaspoon of garlic powder instead. If you use minced, make sure it’s very, very finely minced. Garlic – Crushed or grated garlic is best in this recipe, so it evenly flavors the peanut sauce recipe without overpowering it.If your nut butter contains sugar (I don’t recommend )), you may want to leave out the honey, unless you like it very sweet. You can also substitute almond butter if needed. I love this brand because it’s smooth, creamy, and the only ingredient is peanuts. Creamy Peanut Butter – This makes up the base of the peanut sauce recipe.For measurements, see the recipe card below.
