Recipe Notes

  • Any liquid sweetener that you enjoy will work well in place of the maple syrup.
  • After being stored in the fridge, the sauce may need a splash of water stirred in to loosen it up a bit.
Eight ingredients, one blender, ten minutes. This peanut sauce has been tested and tweaked over years of weekly batches. The balance of sweet, sour, creamy, and heat is exactly right. Keeps in the fridge for a week and works on pretty much everything.
