Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 0.75 cup Coconut milk (full-fat, unsweetened)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Swerve sweetener or erythritol
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Red curry paste
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Chopped unsalted peanuts (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the peanut butter and coconut milk over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Add the soy sauce, lime juice, and sweetener to the saucepan. Continue to stir the mixture gently.
Incorporate the minced garlic, grated ginger, red curry paste, and crushed red pepper flakes into the saucepan. Stir to combine and allow the flavors to meld.
Add the sesame oil and water to the saucepan, stirring well until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. If it is too thick, add more water, a tablespoon at a time.
Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the sauce is slightly thickened and the flavors are fully developed.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning to preference with more lime juice or soy sauce if desired.
Serve warm as a dipping sauce or drizzle over your favorite grilled meats. Garnish with chopped unsalted peanuts if desired.
