Notes
Allergic to peanuts? I have made this recipe with almond butter and it was excellent!
Want to get some serious funk on? Replace the miso with doenjang! You can read about it in our recipe for Doenjang Sauce.
The coconut aminos can be replaced with soy sauce, or tamari (if you want gluten free). You might want to add a bit of sugar then since Asian peanut sauces tend to be a touch sweet.
