These easy-to-make sauces require no cooking and use simple pantry ingredients, making them ideal for dipping, drizzling, or marinating a variety of dishes.

Ingredients

Scale

Honey Sesame Sauce

  • 1/2 cup (68 grams) honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup (34 grams) low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Spicy Soy Sauce

  • 1/2 cup (118 ml) low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 teaspoons chili sauce (adjust to desired spice level)
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • Chopped scallion/spring onion for garnish
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Savory Peanut Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 3/4 cup (102 grams) peanut butter, smooth or chunky
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • Warm water, as needed to thin the sauce
  • Chopped peanuts for garnish (optional, omit if using chunky peanut butter)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Honey Sesame Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine honey, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, and low sodium soy sauce. Whisk together until the ingredients are fully blended. Pour the mixture into a serving bowl and sprinkle with freshly grated ginger and toasted sesame seeds as garnish.
  2. Prepare Spicy Soy Sauce: In another small mixing bowl, add low sodium soy sauce, chili sauce, and honey. Whisk well until the sauce is smooth and combined. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with chopped scallions and green onions for freshness and garnish.
  3. Prepare Savory Peanut Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine hoisin sauce, peanut butter, and low sodium soy sauce. Add about 2 tablespoons of warm water to help thin the sauce, adding more if necessary depending on your peanut butter’s thickness. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Pour into a serving bowl and optionally sprinkle with chopped peanuts unless using chunky peanut butter.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chili sauce in the Spicy Soy Sauce to suit your preferred heat level.
  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce and ensure hoisin sauce is gluten-free.
  • The Savory Peanut Sauce can be thinned out with additional warm water for a dipping consistency or thickened by reducing the water to use as a spread or drizzle.
  • These sauces can be made ahead and stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Use the Honey Sesame Sauce as a dip for dumplings, a glaze for chicken, or a dressing for salads.
  • Spicy Soy Sauce works great as a dipping sauce for spring rolls or as a marinade for grilled meats.
  • Savory Peanut Sauce complements satays, steamed vegetables, or noodle dishes perfectly.
