Vegan Thai Peanut Sauce

Warning: It’s easy to become obsessed with this Vegan Thai Peanut Sauce!

This Vegan Thai Peanut Sauce is THE BEST! The flavor, the texture is pure HEAVEN! It’s really quick and easy to make and you don’t have to worry about all those nasty preservatives that come with a store-bought version. Not to mention it comes in very handy too. Try it as:

• a delicious dipping sauce
• in a stellar noodle recipe
• poured over tofu
• drizzled over a salad, veggie, or grain bowl.
• Honestly, it’s amazing eaten right out of the jar….

What gives this Thai Peanut Sauce such great texture and flavor?

To enjoy a “chunky” version use chunky peanut butter and dice the onions a little larger. To achieve a silky smooth sauce use creamy peanut butter and blend the sauce after cooking to puree the onions.

A combination of heat, sweet, acidic, and salty gives a great balance of flavor. Here’s the line up of ingredients:

• a good quality peanut butter
• red onion
• garlic
• red pepper flakes
• red wine vinegar
• tamari
• date syrup
• lime juice

How do you make Vegan Thai Peanut Sauce?

It’s very easy:)

1. Simply cook the red onion in a little vegetable stock until soft.
2. Add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until blended.
4. If needed pour in a little non-dairy milk (or coconut milk for a more authentic Thai flavor) to thin.
5. Try not to eat it all before allowing it to chill in the fridge – that’s it!

How long does it keep in the fridge?

About 5 days – if you have incredible will power. As I mentioned it’s great right out of the jar…
