Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced or grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, Sriracha, lime juice, and honey (or maple syrup).
Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil.
Slowly whisk in the water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired sauce consistency is reached. The sauce should be smooth and pourable but not too runny.
Taste the sauce and adjust to your preference—add more Sriracha for heat, honey for sweetness, or lime juice for tanginess.
If using, stir in the crushed red pepper flakes for an extra spicy kick.
Serve immediately or store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before using.
