Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili paste (optional, for spice)
- 4 tablespoons Warm water
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha (if using).
Whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined. The mixture will be thick at this stage.
Gradually add 1 tablespoon of warm water at a time to the mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. For a dipping sauce, keep it thicker; for drizzling or noodles, thin it out slightly more.
Taste the sauce and adjust the flavor to your preference. Add more soy sauce for saltiness, honey or maple syrup for sweetness, or sriracha for more heat.
Transfer the sauce to a small serving bowl or container. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
