# Ingredients:
→ Sauce Basics
01 -
Creamy peanut butter, ½ cup (smooth works best)
02 -
Fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon (about half a lime)
03 -
Soy sauce, 2 tablespoons
04 -
Honey or brown sugar, 1 tablespoon (either works)
05 -
Grated fresh ginger (½ teaspoon) or ground ginger if it's all you've got (¼ teaspoon)
06 -
1 clove of garlic, finely minced
07 -
A touch of sesame oil, around 1 teaspoon
08 -
Sriracha or chili flakes, a pinch or more if you like it hot
09 -
Warm water, ⅓ to ½ cup, to reach your preferred consistency
# Steps:
01 -
In a medium bowl, toss in sesame oil, peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, honey or sugar, garlic, ginger (fresh or ground), and that little bit of chili spice if you're adding. Stir it well till it starts looking smooth.
02 -
Slowly pour warm water into the mixture, stirring as you go. Keep adding it gradually, stopping when it thickens up or thins out just the way you like. Perfect for dipping or drizzling.
03 -
Give it a taste! Feeling like it needs more tang? Toss in another dash of lime. Too sour? A bit of honey will do the trick. If you’re after more heat, go ahead with chili or sriracha.
04 -
Now you're set! Use it while warm, or let it cool first. It’ll be fantastic either way.
# Notes:
01 -
You can keep this in the fridge for roughly a week. It thickens as it chills, so warm it slightly or stir in a little water before your next use.
02 -
Try it over skewered chicken, as a spring roll dip, or mixed with rice noodles for a fast dinner.
03 -
Double the ingredients when prepping meals, you'll be glad—this sauce goes with pretty much everything!
