Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, and coconut milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Place the saucepan over low heat and add lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and chili paste. Stir constantly to prevent sticking.
Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, to thin the dip to your desired consistency. Keep stirring for 3-5 minutes until the ingredients are well combined and heated through.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the dip to cool slightly.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro leaves.
Serve warm or at room temperature with fresh vegetables, grilled skewers, or crackers.
