Preparation
- Step 1
Place the roasted peanuts in a plastic bag or a pastry bag and place on your work surface. Roll over the bag with a rolling pin until the peanuts are crushed.
- Step 2
Combine the crushed peanuts, peanut butter, miso, honey, mirin and orange zest in a bowl and stir together until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Advance preparation: This will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator but you may want to thin it out a little with water or a little orange juice.

I recommend adding the crushed peanuts after you’ve stirred the other ingredients until smooth. That way you can tell when your miso is fully incorporated and smooth. Incredible flavor with the salty funk of the miso with the natural sweetness of the peanut butter and honey.
This was great as a dip! I made the mistake of using grind-your-own peanut butter, so it was far too thick. Didn't have orange juice, so I watered it down with a little water and lime juice. Lime gave it a nice kick. Would make again, and try the proper version!
I added about two tablespoons of shredded coconut to this and it was divine! Next time, I'd like to try adding a tablespoon of tahini as well to give it a deeper flavor.
For peanut dipping sauce, I used this as a base, but no crushed peanuts. Added: Addl 1/2 Tbsp mirin (1.5 T total) 2 tsp orange juice (left out orange zest) 1 tsp gochujang
Made this according to the recipe. Use shiro miso which like any miso is salty and the salt dominated. Strongly recommend finding no salt peanuts and peanut butter. Really crush the peanuts. Thanks for the tip about adding them last.
Wonderful! I followed the advice to rinse the salt off the peanuts--still plenty salty from the miso (I have red miso on hand, and it works just fine). I also added a 1/2 tsp of Sriracha (more if you like it hotter), and it really kicked it up a notch! I served it with inch long flat sliced carrots. Will try it with cucumber when I go to the store next. Thanks, Martha!
