Simple Peanut Sauce

(vegan, gluten free)

This simple peanut sauce is sweet, salty, nutty, spicy, and pairs perfectly with your favourite stir fry or noodle bowl (like this peanut tofu noodle bowl). It’s also great as a dip for veggies, tofu, shrimp, or summer rolls. If you’re allergic to peanuts, this sauce works great with any other nut or seed butter. I’ve tried it with almond butter and it’s just as delicious!

Since most soy sauces contain gluten, if you want to make this gluten free just use tamari or coconut aminos instead.
