To use this peanut sauce, simply open the container and incorporate it into your cooking. It can be gently warmed before serving as a dipping sauce or drizzled directly over finished dishes. For marinades, combine it with other ingredients and allow meats or vegetables to soak in the flavor for at least 30 minutes.

Adjust the amount used to achieve your desired level of flavor and consistency.
