Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili paste (optional for heat)
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, and honey (or maple syrup). Stir well until the mixture is smooth.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha (if using). Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly incorporated.
Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking or stirring the sauce to your desired consistency. For a thicker sauce, use less water; for a thinner sauce, add more water.
Stir in the sesame oil as the final touch to add a nutty aroma and flavor.
Taste the sauce and adjust to your preference. Add more soy sauce for saltiness, lime juice for tanginess, or honey/maple syrup for sweetness.
Use the sauce immediately by adding it to your stir-fried vegetables, tofu, chicken, or noodles. Alternatively, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
