This is the absolute best recipe for peanut sauce you will ever try! It’s the perfect balance between sweet and salty AND its so creamy!! Try it now!

My grandpa introduced me to peanut sauce a few years ago at a little Taiwanese restaurant that we both love in central Austin and ever since then, I’ve loved it!  My grandpa always gets a plate with some crispy tofu and peanut sauce for dipping on the side.  I always try his dish and love it but I never knew how to make that delicious peanut sauce.  Until today!  After some trial and error, I figured out how to make this delicious secret sauce!

If you’ve never tried peanut sauce, stop what you’re doing right now and make this recipe!  Peanut sauce is a magical thing.  It’s the perfect combo between sweet and savory and it’s super easy to make!  (Even easier than you may think.😉)  This recipe has become my go-to every time my family and I want a really delicious and easy snack or dip.  

On top of being really delicious, I LOVE the versatility of this dip!  The peanut sauce works great just with some veggies as a dip for an easy snack but I also love it with spring rolls, noodles, or even salad.  

What makes this the best peanut sauce?

These are the ingredients I use and why they are so perfect:

  • Peanut Butter – Base of the sauce + adds the peanut flavor, obviously haha. 
  • Soy Sauce – Adds saltiness and some flavor
  • Teriyaki Sauce – Extra deliciousness
  • Sesame Oil – Makes the sauce super creamy and smooth
  • Honey – Gives a perfect added sweetness to the sauce
  • Chili Paste – The perfect kick to counter the sweetness
  • Warm Water – Helps the sauce come together really smoothly
