Here is a new version of my delicious spicy peanut sauce recipe. It’s now quick, easy and even more delicious with peanut butter, ginger, garlic, onion, coconut milk, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar and chili.
I put lemongrass in and love it, but if you can’t get it, just leave it out, the sauce will still taste great.
If you want to take a shortcut or don’t have a blender, you can just use onion, garlic, ginger and optional lemongrass in its powdered form und just mix about half a teaspoon of each in a small saucepan with the other ingredients. Heat the mixture, stir, and it’s ready to enjoy.
What can you serve the peanut sauce with?
It can be enjoyed warm or as a cold dipping sauce and works well with:

or
- French fries
- Sweet potatoes
- Fried noodles
- Sandwiches
- Wraps
- Salads
- Vegetables
- Tofu
- Spring and summer rolls
- Buddha bowls
- Rice dishes
The peanut sauce will last in the fridge for at least a week … theoretically. You can also freeze it.
