Make this simple, no-cook peanut sauce in under five minutes to top your favorite noodles or use as a quick dip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the peanut butter, warm water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
  2. Add the minced garlic and ground ginger, if you are using them.
  3. Whisk all ingredients together until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy.
  4. If the sauce is too thick, add water, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Pour the sauce over cooked noodles or serve immediately as a dip.

Notes

  • For a thinner sauce, increase the warm water slightly. For a thicker sauce, use less water or add a bit more peanut butter.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of lime juice for a brighter flavor profile.
  • If you prefer a spicy sauce, mix in 1/2 teaspoon of sriracha or chili garlic sauce.
  • This sauce works well with ramen, rice noodles, soba, or even spaghetti.
