Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
- 1 cup hot water
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the smooth peanut butter and protein powder. Stir until the protein powder is fully incorporated.
Add the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha sauce to the peanut butter mixture.
Slowly add the hot water while whisking continuously. Start with 3/4 cup, then gradually add more if the sauce is too thick. The goal is to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
Once well mixed, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more soy sauce for extra saltiness or more sriracha if you prefer a spicier kick.
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or container. It can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Before serving, stir the sauce well as it may thicken upon cooling.
Serve as a dip with vegetables, spring rolls, or use as a topping for salads and noodles.
