How to Make Szechwan Peanut Sauce
- Mince 2 cloves of garlic and 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro in a food processor until finely chopped. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- In a medium stainless steel bowl, whisk together the minced garlic and cilantro with the remaining ingredients: 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar, 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (or to taste), 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/4 cup water. Whisk until completely smooth and emulsified.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the sauce sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the better it tastes! (Refrigerate leftovers)
