Peanut Sauce that is bursting with flavor is perfect for dipping homemade fresh summer rolls!
This Thai and Vietnamese inspired peanut sauce recipe uses ingredients you’ll most likely find in your pantry. It takes only a few minutes to make when mixed in your blender. You can use it as a base for salad dressing too!
Peanut Sauce is super delicious. Have you ever made it? I hadn’t until now, but it changed my life.
Okay, okay. I know I’m a bit dramatic, but this stuff was amazing. I used it as a dipping sauce for the shrimp summer rolls that I made. That recipe is coming soon. You can totally eat this peanut sauce how I have it pictured here as a dipping sauce, or you can take it a step further and mix it with some oil and vinegar to transform it into a salad dressing.
Here’s how to make it:
I was going to make a Vietnamese peanut sauce that my friend makes. She basically told me to mix equal portions of peanut butter, pineapple juice, and hoisin sauce. I actually just did this the other day and found that version to not be nearly as good as the recipe below.
This recipe came about because I was trying to make a homemade hoisin sauce and just added peanut butter to it. From there, I continued to change the proportion of certain ingredients until I achieved the tasted and texture I was going for. That was it!
To make this homemade peanut sauce, all you’ll need to do is measure out each of the ingredients and whirl it up in the blender. You can add some crushed roasted peanuts on top when you’re done if you prefer. That’s it!

This is a next-level recipe. The toasted sesame seed oil put it over the top – not all recipes call for this ingredient, but this really pushes this over the edge. This was actually better received than the Nuoc Nom dipping sauce that I made.
What a great recipe! I served it on chicken skewers and it was perfect!
This peanut sauce is absolutely perfect with fresh made spring rolls, i’ve been waiting for a recipe for peanut sauce.
