Notes

  • To store: will keep covered in the fridge for up to a week
  • this recipe is easily doubled
  • If using sweetened peanut butter you may want to use less sugar
  • Peanut sauce could be thicker depending on what peanut butter you use so adjust with a little more coconut milk if needed and it will also firm up in fridge so let come to room temp if you like or serve chilled.
  • Make a day or 2 ahead for easy party planning 
  • Hoisin sauce is typically not gluten free so check label. Here is link to gluten free hoisin sauce
