Hoisin Peanut Sauce

There are many ways to spice up peanut sauce, though a hoisin peanut sauce may be one of the most flavorful. This mix of traditional peanut sauce and hoisin sauce delivers a rich sweet earthiness. It’s a big enough flavor to work with both chicken and beef skewers. Plus, it’s a perfect dipping sauce for egg rolls and vegetable crudités.

Both the harissa and Sriracha sauce are the source of the spiciness in this recipe. Feel free to increase (or — gasp — decrease) the amount of Sriracha to your taste. Harissa itself can really range in its overall spiciness, depending on the chili peppers used. Of course, if you want to make homemade harissa with a decent spiciness, check out our homemade harissa recipe.
