Ingredients
-
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
-
2 tbsp soy sauce
-
1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
-
1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
-
1 garlic clove, minced
-
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger (or 1/4 tsp ground)
-
1/2 tsp sesame oil (optional for extra flavor)
-
1/4-1/3 cup warm water (to thin to desired consistency)
-
1/4 tsp chili flakes or a dash of sriracha (optional for heat)
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar or lime juice, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil until smooth.
-
Slowly add warm water, a little at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency—thick for dipping, thinner for drizzling.
-
Stir in chili flakes or sriracha if you want a spicy kick.
-
Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
-
For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey.
-
Add a splash of coconut milk for a creamier, richer version.
-
Great with chicken skewers, spring rolls, rice bowls, or veggie platters.
