Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili sauce
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter and coconut milk over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha or chili sauce. Stir well to incorporate all the flavors.
Slowly pour in the water, adjusting the amount for your desired sauce consistency. Continue stirring and let the mixture heat gently for 3-4 minutes, ensuring it does not boil.
Once the sauce thickens slightly and the ingredients are fully combined, remove it from heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil for an extra layer of flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (add more soy sauce for saltiness or sugar for sweetness).
Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. For garnish, sprinkle with crushed peanuts if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a dip, marinade, or drizzle over your favorite dishes.
