Ingredients for Homemade Peanut Sauce
Peanut Butter: Creamy or crunchy peanut butter works in this recipe. For other nut butter options, try almond butter or cashew butter.
Soy Sauce: Adds a savory umami; low-sodium soy sauce, coconut aminos, or tamari can be used in place.
Sambal Oelek: Sambal is a delicious garlic chili paste. Replace it with sriracha if needed.
Brown Sugar: A little sweetness helps balance the lime and the heat.
Lime Juice: Adds a freshness and acidity to the sauce.
Variations
Minced garlic or a teaspoon or two of sesame or chili oil will make a peanut sauce glaze that clings to grilled shrimp and salmon filets.
