This smooth and nutty sauce is so easy to make. It adds savory flavor to grilled chicken and meats, noodle dishes, stir-fries and grain bowls. It's even delicious as a dip for raw vegetables.

Comments
I found that adding a bit more water and thinning it out made it 'coat' the stir fry a little better. Delicious!
I love this peanut sauce! It's quick to make and goes well with stir fried veggies or as a dip for raw veggies.
I also like to use it as a salad dressing, just add extra water to thin it out.
