Easy Peanut Sauce in bowls

One of my favorite things to use peanut sauce for is a dipping sauce for fresh spring rolls with shrimp.

They taste so good together.

Peanut sauce is also delicious with skewered grilled chicken and appetizer-size pieces of cooked meat with toothpicks for handling.

It can also be served as a hot or cold sauce to mix with noodles.

And peanut sauce makes a great marinade for meat and cooking sauce with vegetables.

Let’s check out the ingredients.
