Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 3 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or chunky, based on preference)
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (fresh, grated)
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili paste (optional, for heat)
• 3 tablespoons warm water
• 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the hoisin sauce and peanut butter. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 2

Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and brown sugar to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Step 3

For a spicy kick, stir in the sriracha or chili paste. Adjust the amount based on your heat preference.

Step 4

Slowly add the warm water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously to achieve your desired sauce consistency. It should be thick yet pourable.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust the flavors as needed (e.g., more soy sauce for saltiness, rice vinegar for tanginess, or brown sugar for sweetness).

Step 6

Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and, if desired, garnish with chopped peanuts for added texture and presentation.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a dipping sauce or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Stir well before serving if chilled.
