I make this peanut sauce all the time! It is lick-the-bowl delicious, it can dress up any sad vegetables.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for… easy delicious sauces for summer!
Let’s get real for a second. When it’s summer and you’re grilling more and going to the farmer’s market sometimes and getting gifted things from neighbors gardens or CSA boxes, sometimes “regular meal prep” doesn’t cut it. Sometimes what you really need is just a good sauce or two to get you through the week – be it for dipping, drizzling, salading, spreading, or dunking with all your freshly grilled, roasted, or chopped up summery stuff.
Enter: the very best peanut sauce!
This peanut sauce. Wow oh wow oh wow.
It * is * the * very * best. Did I already say that?
What’s different about it from normal peanut sauce:
· It’s smooth and drizzle-able.
· No, but seriously. This is important. It’s NOT thick and gloppy. No peanut sauce glops allowed!
· It uses fresh garlic and ginger, yes, but most notably, it features a hefty pour of sesame oil! which makes the flavor, well, the very best.
Everybody goes in:
Ways I love to use this sauce:
· Noodles
· Rice Bowls
· Grilled Chicken
· Sauteed Tofu
· Salad Dressing
· Dipping Sauce
Just try throwing some in a skillet with some chicken or tofu for a little trick. The way it gets browned and crispy and beautiful (like what’s in the pictures here)?
YES. You are right to think that it’s life-changing.
