Creamy, salty, sour, and sweet – this Thai Peanut Dipping Sauce is deliciously addictive. Serve with fresh veggies, summer rolls, grilled meats, and more.
As you’ve probably gathered by now, we eat some form of Asian food every single week. I love using basic Asian pantry ingredients to transport my plate to the other side of the world and bring back childhood memories.
Growing up, my dad would take me and my sisters out for “Sushi Saturday” every weekend. Sunday dinner often took place at a local Vietnamese restaurant where I learned how to roll my own bbq pork fresh rolls at the age of 12. And a visit to Berkeley to see my dad’s side of the family was never complete without a trip to dim sum in San Francisco’s Chinatown.
Whether it’s a quick stir-fry, summery fresh rolls or a crunchy cabbage slaw, the flavors and versatility of Asian food is limitless.
If you’ve ever ordered tandoori grilled chicken, you’re probably familiar with some form of peanut dipping sauce. You know what I’m talking about – that dish on the side that is creamy, sweet, sour and nutty. I could drink it with a straw which is why I couldn’t wait to recreate it at home with Silk Unsweetened Coconutmilk.
We enjoyed this Thai Peanut Dipping Sauce with fresh veggies, crusty bread and grilled yellowtail snapper. It’s great for summer entertaining and can be made up to 2 days in advance. Be sure to visit Silk Unsweetened Coconutmilk for more delicious recipe ideas.

Hi Liz!
I’ve never thought about pairing peanut sauce with veggies. That’s brilliant! It just never hit me :) I’m craving everything you have up there though! :) Pinned!
Aww thank you so much Natasha. I wasn’t planning to eat it like that but in the summer months I end up always coming up with new ways to eat all of the fresh produce. :) Enjoy!
Peanut sauce makes everything irresistible!
Isn’t that the truth!
This sauce looks so good and would work well on all kinds of things!
Thanks so much friend!
I crave Asian food. I definitely eat it once a week and more. It’s good I have on the West coast, because there is plethora of Asian food available. Yes! This sauce looks soooo good. I pinned it. I do not want to lose track of it.
You and me both – nothing better!
Pretty sure I would be eating this on everything!
