You can serve this healthy peanut sauce recipe as a dip or drizzle over Asian dishes! You can toss this savory peanut sauce with noodles, too. It’s good every which way! Recipe yields about 1 ⅔ cup sauce.

Ingredients

Optional garnishes: sprinkling of chopped roasted peanuts and additional red pepper flakes
2-4 water or coconut milk, or as necessary to reach your desired consistency
¼ tsp. red pepper flakes, plus more for sprinkling
1-2 medium cloves garlic, pressed or minced, to taste
1 ½ tsp. grated fresh ginger or ½ teaspoon ground ginger
3 tbsp. honey
⅓ cup reduced sodium tamari or reduced-sodium soy sauce
¼ cup rice vinegar
¾ cup creamy peanut butter

Method

01

In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup or medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the ingredients until well blended. If your peanut butter is particularly thick, you may need to use the full 4 tablespoons of water to thin out the mixture (or more, if necessary).
02

Feel free to adjust to taste here—for example, sometimes I want my sauce more savory and add another clove of garlic or a little sweeter, so I add extra honey.
03

If you’re serving the sauce as a party dip, transfer it to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped peanuts and red pepper flakes for some visual interest!
