3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3 Tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
1 Tablespoon chili crisp (or red pepper flakes)

Notes
Store any leftover hoisin peanut sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 2 months!
If you're going to freeze this sauce, I recommend freezing it before tossing it in any noodles, then thawing and cooking the noodles fresh. The sauce stores really well in the freezer but the noodles may not!
This sauce stores well if you want to make it ahead of time and makes a great meal prep recipe.
I recommend adding a tablespoon of water the next day (or whatever day you plan on eating it) to thin it out a little bit!
If you prefer a thicker sauce, start with just 1/4 cup of water instead of a full cup and slowly add a tablespoon of water until the desired consistency is reached.
To add a little crunch to this peanut hoisin sauce, you can use crunchy instead of creamy peanut butter!
Add an extra tablespoon of chili crisp, red pepper flakes, or hot sauce (like sriracha) for a spicy peanut sauce.
Although this is a peanut hoisin sauce recipe, you can use other nut butters like almond or cashew butter, or even tahini for a stronger sesame flavor!
If you want a little sweetness in this recipe, you can add a tablespoon or two (or more after tasting) of pure maple syrup or honey.
