spring roll peanut sauce recipe
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: ~1.5 cups
- Diet: Plant-Based
Description
This easy and incredibly delicious spring roll peanut sauce features a smooth, creamy texture and a vibrant reddish-orange hue, bursting with savory, sweet, and tangy notes. It’s a versatile, make-ahead dip that elevates everything from veggies to grilled chicken, perfect for a healthy family meal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter, unsweetened
- 0.5 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 0.25 cup alcohol-free tamari (or soy sauce)
- 0.25 cup maple syrup (or honey)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 0.5-inch piece fresh ginger, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup roasted red peppers, drained
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 0.25–0.5 cup warm water
Instructions
- Gather & Prep Ingredients: Measure all ingredients, roughly chop garlic and ginger (no need for fine mincing), drain roasted red peppers, and have warm water ready.
- Blend to Creamy Smoothness: Combine peanut butter, coconut milk, tamari, maple syrup, rice vinegar, lime juice, chopped garlic, chopped ginger, roasted red peppers, gochujang, and sesame oil in a high-speed blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down sides if needed.
- Thin & Adjust Consistency: With the blender running on low, gradually add warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches a consistency thick enough to cling to a spring roll but is easily pourable (usually 3-4 tablespoons).
- Finish with Zest & Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed with more lime juice for tang, maple syrup for sweetness, or tamari for savory depth to achieve a balanced and vibrant flavor.
- Chill for Melded Flavors: Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly, enhancing its color.
Notes
To avoid a too-thick sauce, add water gradually. Don’t skip fresh ginger and garlic for vibrant flavor. Ensure thorough blending for creamy smoothness, especially with natural peanut butter. For variations, increase gochujang for more spice, add extra maple syrup for sweetness, or reduce/omit gochujang for a kid-friendly version. The sauce stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
