This is one of my favorite sauces.

I use mainly for my Vietnamese Spring Rolls, but also like to use with eggrolls and grilled meats.

What is the Vietnamese name for this peanut sauce? Thank you very much.

I don’t know….I am Vietnamese, but don’t know the language. This is why my blog is Cooking Vietnamese Food, but with a Texas Twist… The recipe is my own creation…

It still turned out restaurant quality!

I don’t have sweetened soy sauce, and I omitted the sugar because I thought it would be too sweet for me otherwise. Maybe it’s because I used commercial peanut butter, which also sugar in it, because I don’t think it needs it. I also didn’t have 2 limes, so I substituted 1 Tablespoon of white vinegar for 1 lime, and I added more siracha (for the chili garlic), and it still turned out as good as what I’ve had in restaurants. I’ll continue using the recipe. Thank you.
