I use this for basil rolls, or vietnamese spring rolls. It is also good as a sauce for stir-frying. Sooo good you might want to double it if you have more than 3 people eating. I don't remember where I got this from. I usually leave the peanuts off, but they are good.

Provided by FLKeysJen

Categories     Sauces

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon chili paste or 1 teaspoon hot bean paste
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped dry-roasted unsalted peanuts

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the oil. When it is hot, add the garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the hoisin sauce, fish sauce, sugar and chili paste, stir well and simmer for 15 seconds. Stir in the chicken broth; the mixture should have a thick, creamy consistency. Add the peanuts.
  • Let cool and serve!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: As with any recipe, having all of your ingredients prepped and measured before you start cooking will make the process go much smoother.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your sauce will taste. This is especially true for the garlic, ginger, and cilantro.
  • Toast the Peanuts: Toasting the peanuts will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Use Smooth Peanut Butter: For a smooth and creamy sauce, use smooth peanut butter. If you only have chunky peanut butter, be sure to blend it until smooth before adding it to the sauce.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: The amount of chili garlic sauce you add will determine the spiciness of the sauce. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

This hoisin peanut dipping sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used with a variety of dishes. It is perfect for spring rolls, summer rolls, dumplings, and grilled meats. It is also a great addition to stir-fries and noodle bowls. With its sweet, savory, and spicy flavor, this sauce is sure to please everyone at your table.
