Hoisin Peanut Dipping Sauce (Nuoc Leo) image

This is a simplified version of the classic Vietnamese dipping sauce, usually made with fresh peanuts. This version uses peanut butter to make it simpler. Of course, hoisin sauce is a bottled Chinese condiment that will keep fresh in your refrigerator for a year. From Jim Fobel's Big Flavors.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but I really liked this sauce. It's not too peanut-y.
