Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in a pot/pan over a low heat until piping hot or in the microwave. You may need to add some water to loosen the sauce.
To Freeze: I wouldn’t recommend freezing this recipe.
Tip 1: You can opt for crunchy or regular peanut butter for this vegan peanut sauce, whatever you have/prefer.
Tip 2: If you love spicy dishes then you could add in chilli flakes or sriracha to spice it up.
Tip 3: If you love Thai cuisine and you're wanting to make a nice crunchy Thai chicken salad with this recipe, you'll need this dresing, some chicken, crunchy cabbage, chopped veg like red bell pepper, and peanuts. You could also make this vegan with tofu instead.
