There is a kind of alchemy in sauces, a way they turn the simplest bowl of noodles or handful of greens into something memorable. This one is golden with peanut, brightened by lime, and softened with a trace of maple.

average rating is 5 out of 5

In every kitchen there are jars and bottles you reach for when a meal feels unfinished. This sauce has a way of pulling everything together. The nuttiness of peanut is lifted by lime, the sesame grounds it, and maple lingers quietly at the edges. It is as welcome drizzled over noodles as it is beside crisp vegetables or spooned over tofu hot from the pan.

about me

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

 

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

 

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

 

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
