Hello friends!  Today I am sharing a recipe that I spent years perfecting.  This is my recipe for the Best Thai Peanut Sauce Ever.  I use this recipe as a peanut dipping sauce, as a dressing for salads, to make peanut noodles and anything else I think needs a punch of flavor from peanut sauce.

How do you make Thai Peanut Sauce?

This recipe for Thai Peanut Sauce uses everyday ingredients that are easy to find at the grocery store.  Although many Thai peanut sauce recipes use coconut milk, this peanut sauce recipe does not.  All you need to do is whisk together peanut butter with soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, chili garlic sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and water.  This is a simple, no cook peanut sauce!How to make the best Thai Peanut Sauce ever!  This Peanut Sauce Recipe can be used as a dipping sauce, salad dressing, for peanut noodles or with chicken satay. | Easy peanut Sauce Recipe | Peanut Dipping Sauce for spring rolls | Peanut noodle sauce | Asian Peanut Sauce | Spicy Peanut Sauce | Peanut Dressing | Vegan Peanut Sauce | Gluten Free Peanut Sauce
A few notes about this recipe:

  • You can make this spicy peanut sauce by using more chili garlic sauce.  You can sub sriracha if you have it on hand, but I prefer the flavor of chili garlic sauce.
  • You can use honey instead of brown sugar, however I find that the flavor of the peanut sauce is better with brown sugar.
  • Use more water to thin the sauce and use as a peanut sauce dressing for salad.
  • What can you dip in this peanut sauce? Spring rolls, lettuce wraps, veggies, chicken, coconut shrimp, tofu.  You can use this peanut dipping sauce for just about anything!

Notes

I use unsweetened peanut butter.  If you use conventional peanut butter the sauce may turn out too sweet.  Try reducing the brown sugar to 1 tablespoon.

  1. This recipe was super easy to follow and soooo delicious. The sauce is flavorful and creamy. I used with Thai Lettuce Wraps and it was a big hit!

    So delicious!!
    I happened to have lots of peanuts, so I made my own peanut butter and it was great!

    Thank you!

    1. Hi Hannah – I never have leftovers for longer than a day or two, but it should last about 3-5 days in the fridge.

    Absolutely delicious. I used organic crunchy peanut butter and loved the extra crunch.
    Had it with ramen noodles and assorted vegetables. Also plan on trying it with wings. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!

    Water is ok but I substituted coconut milk warmed it up and mixed it in. Definitely recommend also one tablespoon of brown sugar if use peanut butter like the brand names. Overall super good and the grated ginger was a nice hint.
