Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter (unsweetened, natural)
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 2 tablespoons Water (to adjust consistency)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and coconut milk. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
Add the tamari, lime juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha. Continue whisking until fully incorporated and the sauce is uniform in texture.
If the sauce is too thick for your desired use, add the water one tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until the sauce reaches your preferred consistency.
Taste the sauce and adjust as needed. Add more lime juice for tanginess, maple syrup for sweetness, or sriracha for heat.
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or container. Use immediately or store it in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir before serving if it thickens in the fridge.
