How to Make Sticky Cucumber And Peanut Dipping Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup rice vinegar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 6-7 minutes, or until a slightly thickened syrup forms. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- While the syrup cools, grate 1 medium cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- Finely chop 1/4 cup red onion, 1-2 jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference), and 2 cloves garlic.
- Once the syrup is cool, add the squeezed cucumber, red onion, jalapeño, garlic, 1/2 cup roasted peanuts (chopped), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro to the saucepan.
- Stir everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (add more sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or jalapeño for heat).
- Serve at room temperature with your favorite appetizers like fried or boiled shrimp, coconut shrimp, egg rolls, or satay. Enjoy!
