A delicious sauce is the easiest way to upgrade any meal, especially plant-based meals. This Easy Peanut Sauce is a staple in our house. Enjoy it on bowls or stir-frys, stirred into rice noodles, as a dip for veggies or spring rolls, or as a salad dressing. I recommend making a double or triple batch!
