This Thai Peanut Sauce recipe is ridiculously easy to make and tastes amazing on buddha bowls and whatever else you can think of!
Please tell me that you’re as obsessed with peanut sauce as I am! PLEASE! I find myself putting it on a lot of dishes and figured that it would be a nice recipe to have on hand here on the blog :)
This peanut sauce is easy, creamy, and so stinking delicious!! I rounded up my favorite ways to serve it down at the bottom of the post.
I’ll be posting this Chickpea and Sweet Potato Buddha Bowl VERY soon as well and it’s my ideal dish to serve this peanut sauce on.
Other ways I enjoy my peanut sauce is by dipping veggies, putting it on a veggie wrap, and making spring rolls that serve as a peanut sauce delivery device :D
OH: I also LOVE putting peanut sauce on noodle like in THIS recipe.
How to make this Thai peanut sauce recipe:
This is one of those recipes that I almost feel silly telling you how to make since it’s so simple. But here we are :) I make this so often and love putting it on a lot of different dishes and even use it as a salad dressing which is amazing btw!
To make this easy peanut sauce recipe I have offered you 2 different methods:
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. I like this the best because I like it to be EXTRA creamy. The downside: you have to clean your blender.
- Finely mince the garlic and ginger and then simply whisk everything together in a bowl. The downside: you have to dirty a knife, cutting board, and spend the little bit of time to mince.
The decision is yours :D

My new favorite peanut dressing! I subbed out half the amount of peanut butter for the powdered version to cut down on the fat content and I swear you can’t tell the difference! Thank you so much for this great recipe!
Turned out well balanced and tasty! Thanks!
Love the sauce! I punched it up a little and made mine with coconut water and added lime zest.
This is my go-to sauce when I have fresh veggies and tofu and rice and am not sure how to put it all together. I’ve tried it using milk, water, and coconut milk for the liquid and they are all great. My only suggested addition is salt – I am not usually a big salt-lover but this recipe is MUCH better with added salt.
aww yay!! So glad you like it! I could put this on everything :)
Hey Brita! I got here from your instagram story and I must say this sauce is amazing!! How long will it stay in the fridge ? Thank you :)
Thank you for the recipe!! It was really good. I added a little bit of sesame seed oil and it gave it an extra little something that we loved. We did have sriracha so we just added red pepper flakes after and the outcome was soooooo good. Defiantly recommend this peanut sauce.
Thanks for the recipe!
Was wondering if it’s still good if I omit soy sauce?
I do still think it would taste great! You could sub it for coconut aminos if you want. Either way, I would add in a bit more liquid (water or milk) and probably add in a bit more salt
