I love this spicy peanut sauce.  It is super easy to make and requires NO cooking!! It is also vegan friendly.

 

You can serve it as a dip with chicken satay (or other dipping items) and as a sauce over pasta.

I like to increase the recipe so it's a quick go-to when you want a break from regular spaghetti. Grab some vegetables to sauté or stir-fry, boil some pasta, heat up the sauce and toss it all together!

 

1/3 c. hot water

1/3 c. peanut butter

2 tsp. soy sauce

2 tsp. rice vinegar

1 tsp. sugar

2 cloves crushed (or minced) garlic

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

2 scallions, finely chopped

 

Combine all the ingredients, adding the hot water last, and whisk until the peanut butter is completely incorporated.  Let it sit for at least 15 minutes before serving.
