Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or brown sugar)
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and coconut milk. Stir or whisk until smooth and well-blended.
Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, fresh lime juice, and honey (or brown sugar) to the bowl, and mix thoroughly.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Adjust the red pepper flakes based on your preferred level of heat.
Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Add more water if needed for a thinner sauce.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as necessary. Add a bit more soy sauce for saltiness, lime juice for acidity, or honey for sweetness.
Serve immediately as a dipping sauce for spring rolls, satay, or vegetables, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Stir before serving if it thickens in the fridge.
