There was a point in my life where my local store had about 20 items total in stock (which included the ingredients for this sauce), so I lived off this stuff for months. And I still enjoy it. I think its that good.
This is a really quick and easy sauce that you can make in a couple of minutes with stuff you probably already have in your pantry and requires no cooking. If you do have to head out to the grocery store, you’ll end up spending about $7 for enough ingredients to make this several times over.
You can put this on top of just about anything. I like to cook some noodles or rice, saute some veggies and then combine them with the sauce in a deep pan or wok for a few minutes and garnish with peanuts and scallions.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup of Peanut Butter
- 1 Tablespoon of Oil (Sesame Preferred)
- 1 Tablespoon of Soy Sauce
- 2 Cloves of Garlic, Finely Chopped
- Juice of 1 Small Lemon
- 1/4 Cup of Water
- 1/4 Teaspoon Sriracha or other chili sauce to taste
Method
Step 1
Blend all the ingredients together with a fork or a food processor until its smooth, creamy and uniform.

So easy to make and delicious! No more getting mad at the store because all of the bottled peanut sauces have fish in them.

So delicious! My 9-year-old daughter made this tonight, and it was tasty and cheap.

It’s so good and so easy!! I just used what I had at home… crunchy pb, olive oil, and lime juice. It still turned out fantastic. Another good one, Thanks Jake!

Nice! Improvising is always fun and easy to do with this one. I bet some basil would be rad too.

I made this for my friends who recently had a baby and they loved it! My tip would be to keep an eye out on the lemon juice. The lemon I used was very juicy, so it made it a little more sour and I had to compensate with more peanut butter. Great recipe! It was super tasty!
It was served over a bed of sauteed kale, with tofu, sprouts and broccoli and a side of brown rice.
