Warning. This thai peanut sauce is addictive. It’s also gluten-free and vegan. I love it as a dipping sauce served with spring rolls, sweet potato fries, or fresh or cooked vegetables (it’s fantastic on top of roasted cauliflower, broccoli, or as a stir-fry sauce).
This sauce stores very well in the refrigerator if covered and can also be frozen. Bulk preparing sauces and refrigerating or freezing them is a great way to reduce food cost (bottled sauces are very expensive) and also speed up meal preparation time.
