Wonton Peanut Sauce

I played around with numerous versions of dumpling sauce for 麻酱 similar to my favorite spots in Shanghai. I’ve left this with the chili oil and any additional dumpling sauces to taste, but I think the peanut/sesame blend is the most interesting way to present this sauce. Creamy and flavorful!

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 4

When serving, having a little classic dumpling sauce on the side is my preference (1 part light soy sauce, 1 part chinkiang vinegar, chili crisp) as it tastes delicious mixed with the peanut. Garnish with cilantro
