Quick Almond Butter Sauce Recipe

Creamy and nutty, tangy and sweet, with just the right amount of punch and umami, almond butter sauce will up your vegetable game in a matter of minutes!
Prep Time 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g almond butter
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar see notes
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp chili garlic sauce see notes
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Water for thinning

Instructions
 

  • Place almond butter into a medium bowl and soften in a bit using a fork.
  • Whisk in the vinegar so that the mixture thins a bit.
  • Add the soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, honey and sesame oil and whisk until smooth.
  • Pour in a few table spoons of water to thin the sauce to the desired consistency. For a dip, it can stay thicker. If you are planning to drizzle it over vegetable dishes, make it a bit more runny.
  • Taste and adjust for sweetness, spiciness, tang or umami.

Notes

  • You can sub apple cider vinegar with white rice vinegar- it's also quite subtle, albeit without the fruity undertones.
  • Instead of chili garlic sauce you can use any other hot sauce, like Tabasco or Sriracha.
  • Almond butter sauce will comfortably sit in the fridge for up to a week.
