Dad’s Peanut Sauce Recipe
Dad’s peanut sauce is “family famous,” renowned by everyone who tries it! As a dipping sauce for veggies or spring rolls, mixed into noodles or stir fries, or just with a spoon, this peanut sauce is famous for a reason.
Servings: 8 servings (about 2 cups total)
Equipment
- Blender (or food processor)
Ingredients
- ¾ cup smooth peanut butter
- ½ medium red onion
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 large garlic clove peeled
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled and chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, scrapping down the sides of the blender as needed.
- I like to serve peanut sauce at room temperature. You can also microwave it gently (in increments of 20 seconds) until warm, or even serve it chilled!

Notes
- If you like your peanut sauce chunky, add a handful of peanuts to the peanut sauce after it’s blended together.
- Add a splash of coconut milk or coconut cream if you like a looser peanut sauce, or one that has coconut undertones!
