Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon safflower oil

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter, divided

  • 1 ¼ cups water, divided

  • Roasted unsalted peanuts, coarsely chopped, for garnish

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic, tomato paste, and hoisin and cook, stirring, until mixture comes to a boil, about 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup peanut butter and 1 cup water and return to a boil, whisking until mixture is smooth and thoroughly incorporated.
