Notes
- Storage: Store leftover dipping sauce in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. It may thicken slightly as it chills.
- Freezing: You can freeze it, but it may separate when thawed. If you do freeze, whisk well after defrosting and add a splash of warm water to bring it back to life.
- Heating (optional): No need to heat it unless you’d prefer it that way. Gently warm in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently.
- Meal Prep Tip: Double the recipe and keep extra on hand to use throughout the week—drizzle it over bowls, salads, or roasted veggies.
- Peanut Butter Swaps: You can swap the peanut butter for almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter—each one brings a slightly different flavor, but still gives you that creamy, balanced result.
- Adjusting Consistency: Thin it out with water for drizzling, or keep it thick for dipping spring rolls and tofu skewers.
