- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)

Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut aminos, lime juice, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and granulated sweetener.
Whisk the ingredients thoroughly until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved.
Gradually add water to thin the sauce to your desired consistency, adjusting the amount as needed.
If you prefer a bit of spice, stir in the optional red chili flakes to taste.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice for tanginess or sweetener for balance.
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Before serving, allow the sauce to come to room temperature and stir well to recombine if any separation occurs.
