Simple Peanut Sauce

​

​

Most of us associate peanut sauce with Asian cooking but Southerners have used peanuts in cooking for hundreds of years.   This recipe with 4 basic ingredients can be used in so many ways.  It can be used as a salad dressing, a sauce for chicken and burgers, or just about anything that comes off the grill.  It's also great with egg rolls or spring rolls!

​

Ingredients

½ cup creamy peanut butter

½ cup soy sauce

3 Tbsp soy oil

2 Tbsp rice vinegar

​

Instructions

Whisk the peanut butter and soy sauce together, then whisk in the oil and vinegar.  I like to use my immersion hand mixer so it is thoroughly mixed.  If using crunchy peanut butter, whisk it in last by hand.

​

Options

•  For a little extra bite, add ¼ tsp crushed red pepper.

•  For sweetness, add 2 Tbsp brown sugar.

•  1 clove garlic, finely minced gives depth.
