Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Peanut Sauce

By

Baked & stuffed sweet potatoes have been on my to-make list for quite some time now. I finally got down to making some and I'm not sure why I waited so long - such an easy and fulfilling meal. After taking an Asian street food cooking class, I wanted to use the delicious peanut sauce that we made for my baked potatoes. I've decided that the ability to whip up a quick sauce is crucial to coming up with last minute meals. So I grabbed black beans, cilantro, made my peanut sauce + sprinkled on some crushed peanuts, crunchy banana chips & finished with a squeeze of lime. Sweet potato bliss!

Preparation

Step 1

Peanut Sauce

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the hot water, rice vinegar and sugar until completely dissolved.
Add the sriracha and peanut butter. Whisk vigorously to emulsify. It will thicken as the sauce comes together and cools. If it's too thick, you can add a little extra hot water until you reach the consistency you desire.
Add salt or soy sauce and taste. Add more sugar or sriracha if desired.
