Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (or any chili garlic sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Roasted peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, and coconut milk. Stir continuously to create a smooth base.
Add the honey, lime juice, and rice vinegar to the mixture, continuing to stir until well combined.
Mix in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and Sriracha. Cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Adjust the consistency by slowly adding water, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve your desired thickness. Keep stirring to ensure a silky texture.
Taste and adjust flavors, adding more honey for sweetness, lime juice for tanginess, or Sriracha for heat, if needed.
Once the sauce is fully combined and warmed through, remove from heat and let it cool slightly before use.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with chopped roasted peanuts, if desired.
