Hoisin Peanut Dipping Sauce
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon Hoisin Sauce
- 4 tablespoon Smooth Peanut Butter I use Skippy
- 1 ½ tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
- ½ teaspoon Sesame Oil
- ¼ cup Water or more/less as needed
Instructions
- In a small saucepan or pot, combine the peanut butter with the hoisin sauce. As both are soft, they should combine very easily. A whisk may work best to mix it together.
- Once the peanut butter and the hoisin sauce has fully combined, turn the heat on medium and cook the mixture until it starts to bubble slightly.
- When the mixture starts to heat up, add water in small amounts. The amount you add will vary on how thick or thin you want your sauce. I personally like a thinner sauce so I will eyeball the water and pour enough to thin out the sauce. Usually for this amount it will be around ¼ cups and if I want it thinner I will add a touch more. Keep in mind that the sauce will also thicken once it cools down.
- Once you reach your desired consistency and everything is well combined, turn off the heat and taste your sauce. Add in the lime juice & sesame oil until well combined.
- Chill sauce or serve immediately. Optional: garnish it with roasted crushed peanuts or even combine with sambal olek.
Notes
If you like, you can also add in your chili sauce of choice to make it spicy.
I personally like to let the sauce cool off before serving, but it’s totally fine to serve warm.
I would store this sauce up to 1 week in the fridge in an airtight container. Its very fast to make so if you don't find yourself using it often, just make as much as you will need.
