Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili garlic sauce. Mix well.
Slowly add warm water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed—add more lime for tang, sugar for sweetness, or chili sauce for spice.
Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

This sauce thickens in the fridge. Add a splash of water or coconut milk and stir to loosen it back up.
Great as a dipping sauce for spring rolls, grilled meats, or tossed with noodles or salad.
For a nut-free version, try sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
