Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted peanut butter
- 0.75 cup light coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the unsalted peanut butter and light coconut milk.
Stir the mixture continuously until the peanut butter is fully melted and incorporated into the coconut milk, ensuring the mixture is smooth.
Add the low sodium soy sauce, fresh lime juice, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, chili garlic sauce, and sesame oil to the saucepan.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the sugar has completely dissolved.
Slowly stir in the water, adjusting the consistency to preference. If you desire a thicker sauce, use less water, for a thinner consistency, add a little more.
Continue to cook the sauce over low heat for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to let the mixture boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat, allow the sauce to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature alongside grilled skewers, noodles, or as a versatile dipping sauce.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
