Ingredient Notes

To make this peanut butter hoisin sauce, all you need are:

Ingredient Notes

• Hoisin sauce. I used store-bought Hoisin sauce, but you could also use oyster sauce with a bit of honey. You can also make Homemade Hoisin Sauce using soy sauce, molasses, sesame oil, rice vinegar, peanut butter, garlic, sriracha sauce, pepper, water, and cornstarch.
• Peanut butter. I used smooth peanut butter, but you can also use chunky peanut butter. The creamier the texture, the smoother the sauce. You can also use almond or sunflower seed butter.
• Rice vinegar. I used unseasoned rice vinegar, but you could also use white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or lime juice.
• Peanuts. Optional, for garnish. You could also use cashews, almond slivers, or sesame seeds.

How To Make Hoisin Sauce for Spring Rolls

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Add the hoisin sauce, peanut butter, water, and rice vinegar to a small bowl. Whisk ingredients together until thoroughly combined.

Step 2: Pour peanut hoisin sauce into a serving dish and top with crushed peanuts or sesame seeds. Serve immediately with Fresh Spring Rolls With Shrimp.

Expert Tips

• For a thicker hoisin sauce dip, use less water; for a thinner sauce, add more water.
• Sweeten with honey for a sweeter sauce. Add a small amount at a time.
• Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature.
• If using natural peanut butter, use warm water to help mix it more easily.

Variations

• Spicy. Add a squirt of Sriracha or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
• Umami. Add a splash of soy sauce or Tamari.
• Sweet. Use pineapple juice instead of water to thin the sauce.

Storage Tips

Refrigerator: Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezer: Portion sauce into smaller containers or ice cube trays. This way, you can thaw exactly the amount you need without defrosting the entire batch.

Reheating: Thaw the sauce in the refrigerator overnight. After thawing, the sauce might separate or thicken. Gently reheat it on the stove over low heat. Add a small amount of water to reach the desired consistency.
