Description

This incredibly versatile 5-Ingredient Peanut Sauce comes together in minutes and will become your new go-to for noodles, salads, and spring rolls. With its perfect balance of creamy, savory, sweet, and spicy flavors, this vegan sauce will transform any dish into a flavor-packed meal!


Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons warm water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter and warm water. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and sriracha. Whisk vigorously until fully combined.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning – add more maple syrup for sweetness or sriracha for heat.
  4. Use immediately or store in an airtight container for later use.

Notes

Tips: For gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Sauce thickens when chilled – thin with warm water as needed. Stores well in refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Substitutions: Honey can replace maple syrup, almond butter works instead of peanut butter, lime juice substitutes for rice vinegar.
