Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk (canned, full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Warm water
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter and coconut milk. Stir until they are well combined and creamy.
Add the soy sauce, lime juice, and rice vinegar to the bowl. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth.
Incorporate the minced garlic and grated ginger into the dressing. Stir well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
Pour in the sesame oil and sprinkle the red pepper flakes. Mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Gradually add the warm water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing continuously until you achieve the desired consistency. Adjust as needed depending on whether you prefer a thicker dressing or a more pourable one.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice for acidity or soy sauce for saltiness, according to your preference.
Store the dressing in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week. Shake well before using.
