Peanut Sauce

Serves: 8

Print this Recipe

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Standing time: 1 hour
Serves: 8  Serving size: 2 Tbsp
This sauce is wonderful for dipping raw or steamed-crisp vegetables (try radishes, broccoli, and green beans). You can also serve it Indonesian satay style, alongside skewered strips of grilled lean beef or chicken breast. You can also use it to make sesame noodles: thin the sauce with an equal amount of water and toss with cold cooked noodles. You’ll need about 2-3 Tbsp of the thinned sauce per 1/2 cup of noodles.


   1/4 cup water
   1/4 cup smooth natural peanut butter
   1/4 cup fat-free refried beans
   1 tablespoon soy sauce
   1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
   1 small garlic clove, minced
   1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
   2 tablespoons chopped cilantro for garnish


1. In a food processor or blender, combine the water, peanut butter, beans, soy and hoisin sauces, garlic, and red pepper flakes; pulse until smooth. Add more water, a Tbsp at a time, until the sauce reaches dipping consistency.
2. Cover and let stand 1 hour to blend flavors. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve. The sauce will keep, covered, in the refrigerator up to 4 days; it will thicken as it stands, but can be thinned with water.


Hoisin sauce, a slightly sweet, fermented black bean sauce, can be found in the Asian foods section of most supermarkets and in Asian markets.
