Nutty Hoisin Recipe

Makes 1/2 cup 5 minutes

This sauce can be thin for a salad dressing or thick for a stir-fry. I use it for the Raw Spring Rolls it perfectly compliments the vegetables. Almost any nut butter will work. Tahini may be a little thin. You can control the thickness with the amount of water you add. Start small and add more if needed.

Ingredients

¼ C nut butter
¼ C Hoisin sauce
½ lime juiced and zest

Directions

Combine the nut butter, hoisin sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl or mini food processor and whisk.
Add small splashes of water, about a tsp (5 ml) at a time, and continue until you achieve your desired consistency.
Sprinkle with zest.
Serve with salad rolls, dip, stir-fries, or my Raw Spring Rolls, and enjoy!
