Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 120 milliliters Coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Lime juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons Chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Water (as needed)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, and coconut milk over medium heat.
Stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and fully incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, ground ginger, and chili flakes (if using), then mix thoroughly.
Simmer the sauce for another 2 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking. If the consistency is too thick, gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired thickness is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce for saltiness, lime juice for tanginess, or brown sugar for sweetness.
Remove from heat and transfer the sauce to a serving bowl. Serve warm alongside grilled skewers, noodles, or as a dip for veggies.
