Notes

  • Once prepared, this peanut sauce will store in the fridge for up to 10 days. Keep it in an air tight container for best result and give it a good stir before serving. 
  • This recipe is very customizable! You can leave out the sesame oil, make it spicy with extra red pepper flakes or hot sauce, add more sweetener, soy sauce, and make it as thick or as thin as you like!
  • Different brand of peanut butter have different amounts of salt. If you find the sauce is too salty, add a touch more veggie broth to cut the saltiness a bit, or add more spice or sweetness to balance it out.
