Ingredients

• 4 large Shallots
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy or natural)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (freshly grated)
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili garlic sauce
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk or water
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Peanuts (crushed, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

Peel the shallots and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Set them aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

While the shallots are roasting, peel the garlic and grate the ginger. Prepare the remaining ingredients to streamline the cooking process.

Step 4

In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted shallots, peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, sriracha, and coconut milk (or water). Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add lime juice for brightness and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.

Step 6

Transfer the peanut sauce to a serving bowl. Garnish with crushed peanuts and freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 7

Serve warm or at room temperature as a dip, dressing, or sauce for noodles, grilled meats, steamed vegetables, or rice dishes.
