This peanut sauce is made with peanut butter, hoisin sauce, garlic, shallots, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, and milk for a smooth, rich dipping sauce.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
I love that the consistency is easy to adjust. Start with ¼ cup milk for a thicker dipping sauce, then add more as needed until it’s as creamy and pourable as you like.
