Spicy Asian Peanut Dipping Sauce

Jump to Recipe

This spicy peanut dipping sauce is one of the best peanut sauce that you will ever make. It is absolutely a simple recipe and tastes much better than any store bought ones.

Spicy Peanut Sauce

We love spicy peanut sauce and I have never been successful before to make a restaurant quality peanut sauce. When I was reading the ingredients for this sauce I saw that it had coconut milk in it.

That was something I have never used to make a sauce before and I wanted t give it a try. I am so glad I tried the peanut sauce because this was the perfect one that I was looking for and I kept licking it so much that I had to keep it out of my eye sight.

I had made Chinese New Year dumplings for one of the earlier blogging marathon theme and this was one of the side sauces I had made for the dish. It not only paired perfectly for the dumplings, but was also great as a sauce for quick noodles. I diluted the left over dipping sauce a little bit and then used it as a sauce for quick vegetable noodles the next night.

I also made Thai sweet chili sauce along with the peanut sauce for the dumplings which I will be blogging about soon.
