The Easy Peanut Sauce You Will Love
This easy peanut sauce is so delicious, it will make most anything taste good! It’s creamy, peanut buttery, savory, sweet, with a touch of spicy. It will definitely become your go-to peanut sauce!
Yes, this easy peanut sauce really is simple to make with ingredients you probably already have on hand.
My husband and I enjoy this great Pho place nearby and he always has to order the spring rolls, and I always order the peanut sauce to accompany it. That sauce is a must in my opinion.
So, one day, when we had the spring rolls to go and the sauce was forgotten, I decided, I could make my own. Good news is, I made a winning combination that tastes almost identical to what is served at the restaurant.
The great thing about this sauce is how well it goes with so many other foods like chicken satay, noodles, vegetables, tofu and more. And yes, it’s husband-approved. He calls it a winner 😉

What do I need to make this peanut dipping sauce?
To make this recipe, you will need:
- Peanut Butter: Of course. This gives the sauce the creamy base and its peanut flavor. Be sure to use creamy peanut butter (not chunky peanut butter). Additionally, I find that using the most natural peanut butter variation will give the best result in terms of texture and taste. Therefore, I use 100% peanut butter (with no added sugars or oils).
- Chicken Broth: Gives a savory element and is needed to turn it into a sauce.
- Soy Sauce: Gives the sauce its savory profile.
- Honey: Gives the sauce a sweet note.
- Sriracha: Adds a kick to the sauce. Add more if you like it spicy!
- Ginger: Use freshly grated ginger to give it a delicious undertone.
- Garlic: Deepens the overall flavor profile.
- Lime Juice: Optional. Lime juice is a preference. I think the peanut sauce is great how it is without the lime but if you would like a ‘lighter’ sauce with a citrus note, consider adding lime at the end.
How do I make this recipe?
Put all the ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan on medium-heat.
Stir until combined using a whisk.
Then cook while stirring frequently until it takes on a creamy consistency. This will take about 3-5 minutes. Take it off of the heat and it’s done.
See, I told you it was easy!
Serve this dipping sauce over noodles, with chicken satay or as a dip for spring rolls or vegetables. Whatever you choose to eat it with, it will take it to the next level!
