This sauce is amazing used as a dip for spring rolls, egg rolls or as a sauce to top udon noodles. It is a breeze to whip up and smells delicious as it cooks. I think I will double it the next time I make it, as it is something I would love to have handy in my refrigerator for a few days. Make sure you adjust the spice to fit your tastes…or leave it out all together if spice is not your thing.
Enjoy!
Spicy Peanut Sauce:
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons onion, chopped
2 garlic clove, chopped
1-4 tablespoons red pepper flakes*
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used coconut oil)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoon peanut butter
2 tablespoon hoisin sauce
2 teaspoon tomato paste or ketchup
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- In a pot over medium-high heat, heat the oil and cook the onions, garlic and red pepper flakes.
- Add the remaining ingredients and combine. Cook for about 5-6 minutes.
- *If you’re not fond of spice, you can reduce or omit the amount of red pepper flakes in the recipe.
