Hoisin peanut sauce is a rich, flavorful dipping sauce often paired with fresh summer rolls, but also used with many other rice paper rolls. Its base is hoisin sauce, mixed in with almond butter or peanut butter and enhanced with crushed peanuts for texture and nuttiness. This could easily be made vegan by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
