In a small saucepan, combine the sunflower seed butter, coconut aminos, coconut milk, lime juice, and fish sauce.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir the mixture continuously with a whisk until smooth and well combined.
Once the mixture is smooth, add in the grated ginger, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt.
Continue to cook the sauce on low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until it begins to thicken slightly.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice or salt as desired.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly.
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and use immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
