Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (creamy or natural)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ginger (freshly grated)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons water (adjust for consistency)
- 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, honey, ginger, garlic, lime juice, and sesame oil.
Whisk the ingredients together until a thick and creamy mixture forms.
Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking, until the dip reaches your desired consistency. For a thicker dip, use less water; for a thinner sauce-like consistency, add a bit more.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more sriracha for extra heat, lime juice for acidity, or honey for sweetness if desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with crushed peanuts and chopped cilantro, if using.
Serve immediately with fresh veggies, crackers, spring rolls, or grilled meat, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir before serving if refrigerated.
