Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy or natural)
- 0.25 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), Sriracha, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and fully combined. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve your desired consistency.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice for tartness, honey for sweetness, or Sriracha for extra heat.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro and crushed peanuts, if desired.
Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, crackers, or as a dipping sauce for grilled meats. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
