Making Peanut Dipping Sauce in a Tiny Kitchen
This recipe only uses a spoon, small bowl, and some measuring devices. There is almost no clean up. However, it is slightly difficult due to the greasy nature of the peanut butter. Having access to very hot water or thoroughly wiping out your bowl when finished is recommended to make it easier to wash.
If you’re planning on making this recipe in advance, you can either store it on the counter for 24 hours or in your refrigerator for up to a week. Once refrigerated, be sure to let it warm up to room temperature before serving—the oils in the peanut butter can become stiff.
