Pro Tips
- It’s important to use creamy peanut butter. Using chunky peanut butter won’t mix well and the sauce will be clumpy and not creamy!
- If you like the sauce thinner, add more water to get the desired consistency.
- The sauce keeps well for up to two days in the fridge, stored in an airtight container.
- Use the peanut sauce with your favorite Vietnamese spring rolls or chicken satay skewers.
