Recipe Notes

Meal Prep and Storage

  • To Prep Ahead: You can prepare homemade peanut sauce up to 3-4 days in advance.  The sauce will slowly start to lose some of its flavor.
  • To Store:  Store prepared peanut sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • To Freeze:  Freeze leftover peanut sauce in a freezer safe container for up to 4-6 months.
  • To Reheat:  You can either let stored peanut sauce sit out on the counter for an hour before serving, microwave it in the oven for 10-20 seconds, or heat it up in a small saucepan on the stove until smooth and creamy.

Pro Tips and Tricks

  • Microwave peanut butter for 10 seconds before adding in to help soften it up.
  • Add warm water, and not cold, so you can easily stir the peanut sauce until smooth.
  • Make a double or triple batch and store leftovers in the freezer.
  • Add a little Sriracha sauce at a time and taste after each addition until it reaches your desired spice level.
