Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients - Start by gathering all the ingredients listed above. Having everything ready will streamline the preparation process.
  2. Step 2: Combine the Peanut Butter and Sauces - In a medium mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Use a whisk or fork to blend these ingredients until they are well combined.
  3. Step 3: Add the Vinegar and Sweetener - Next, pour in 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar and 1 tablespoon of honey into the bowl. Continue to whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Incorporate Garlic and Ginger - Finely mince 1 clove of garlic and grate 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger. Add these aromatic ingredients to the bowl and mix thoroughly to incorporate their flavors into the sauce.
  5. Step 5: Adjust the Consistency - Gradually add 1/3 cup of warm water to the mixture, whisking as you go. Adjust the amount of water based on your preferred sauce consistency—thicker for dipping or thinner for drizzling.
  6. Step 6: Add Heat (Optional) - If you like a bit of spice, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of sriracha. Taste the sauce and adjust the amount according to your heat preference.
  7. Step 7: Taste and Adjust - Give your peanut sauce a taste. If desired, add a pinch of salt, more honey for sweetness, or an additional splash of vinegar for tang.
  8. Step 8: Serve or Store - Your peanut sauce for spring rolls is now ready to serve! You can drizzle it over spring rolls, use it as a dip, or even drizzle it over salads. If you’re not using it right away, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute natural sweeteners like maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version.
  • This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Just give it a good stir before using.
  • For a nut-free alternative, use sunflower seed butter in place of peanut butter.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the sauce in a food processor.
