All-Purpose Thai Peanut Sauce

This delicious, easy, and healthy all-purpose Thai peanut sauce is the only recipe you’ll need! It’s perfect for dipping springs rolls, dressing salads, and drizzling on noodles! Make it as spicy or mild as you like. (vegan and gluten-free options)

I’m a firm believer that a good sauce can totally make a meal. I have a few essential sauce recipes in my repertoire that I know I can count on to take a meal from decent to outstanding – tzatziki, chimichurri, turmeric tahini sauce, and this – Thai peanut sauce.

 This delicious Thai peanut sauce is everything you need in a sauce. It’s easy to make in 5 minutes with just a few simple ingredients. It tastes heavenly, and it can go on just about anything. It’s a sauce that truly does it all!

You can adjust the amount of water you add (if any) to make this all-purpose Thai peanut sauce work for what you’re making. I add no water if I want it fairly thick for dipping spring rolls or lettuce wraps. I’ll add a little water if I want to drizzle it on a rice or noodle bowl. And I add more water to thin it out if I want to use it as a salad dressing or a sauce for noodles.

This peanut sauce is also easy to customize to fit your taste and dietary preferences. Add more sriracha if you like a lot of heat. You can also make it gluten-free with tamari and vegan with agave nectar instead of honey.

If you don’t already keep the ingredients for this easy Thai peanut sauce in your pantry, I suggest you stock up, because you’ll want to make it over and over!
