• 2 T vegetable oil
• 2 T garlic, minced
• 8 T hoisin sauce
• 3 T peanut butter
• 1 c water
• chopped peanuts, for garnish

Add the oil to a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant. Add the hoisin sauce, peanut butter, and water. Whisk until fully combined. Bring to boil, and then immediately turn off the heat and pour the sauce into a heat-safe bowl. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.

Portion into dipping bowls and sprinkle ground peanuts on top. Serve with Vietnamese spring rolls.
