This easy Peanut Dipping Sauce combines creamy peanut butter with soy sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and rice vinegar. It’s ideal for dipping fresh spring rolls or for tossing with cooked noodles for a quick, flavorful meal.

The Best Peanut Sauce

This versatile peanut sauce is a staple in our kitchen. It has a gentle touch of heat that brightens the flavor and works well in many dishes. Use it as a dip, a noodle sauce, or a salad dressing enhancer.

Our favorite pairing is with fresh spring rolls, but the sauce is also delicious tossed with pasta and shredded chicken, then finished with carrots and green onions for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients for Peanut Dipping Sauce

This peanut sauce uses simple pantry ingredients you likely already have. For the recipe you will need:

• Creamy Peanut Butter – smooth works best, but chunky is fine in a pinch
• Warm Water – to thin the sauce
• Soy Sauce – low sodium or coconut aminos can be substituted
• Chili Sauce – for a touch of heat
• Brown Sugar – balances the savory and spicy flavors
• Garlic Powder
• Ground Ginger
• Rice Vinegar

Making Peanut Sauce

Preparing this sauce is quick and straightforward.

In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and warm water until smooth. Add soy sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, ground ginger and rice vinegar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is uniform. If the consistency is too thick, add water a teaspoon at a time until it reaches your preferred thickness.

Garnish with chopped peanuts if you like, then serve for dipping. This sauce also reheats nicely—warm briefly in the microwave or let it sit at room temperature to loosen before using.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Reheat gently or let come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
