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!
- 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
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.
- 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.
