With just a handful of ingredients — none of which require a special trip to an Asian market — you can whip up this incredibly creamy peanut sauce in less than 5 minutes. Its spicy, salty flavor makes it perfect for summer rolls, Asian noodle dishes, and more. With a little extra water, it can also be thinned out to use as a dressing or for marinating tofu and meat.
