Spicy Peanut Sauce | Fast & Easy! | PlantBased & More

This is the perfect spicy, peanutty sauce for your store-bought dumplings! Fast and easy!

A recreation of Marion Grasby's Spicy Peanut Sauce - a balance of spicy, salty, sweet, and an added depth of flavor from Sichuan peppercorns and peanut butter!

INGREDIENTS
1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
2 tablespoons soy sauce 
1 tablespoon Chinese black vinegar
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon chili oil
1 teaspoon peanut butter (or any nut butter)
1 garlic clove, grated
Few teaspoons cooking liquid (from boiling the dumplings)

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the Sichuan peppercorns in a dry frying pan until smoke starts to appear. Remove from pan and transfer to a mortar and pestle. Grind to a fine powder then transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in the remaining ingredients until well combined. Use as dipping sauce for your favorite dumplings!
