Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk or water for a lighter version
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili paste adjust to taste
  • 1 –2 tablespoons warm water to thin the sauce, if needed

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Instructions
  • Combine Base Ingredients:
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, coconut milk, and honey until smooth and creamy.
  • Add Flavor Boosters:
  • Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Adjust Consistency:
  • If the sauce is too thick, gradually whisk in 1–2 tablespoons of warm water until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Optional Warm-Up:
  • For a slightly warmer, richer sauce, transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • Taste and Adjust:
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the flavors as needed—add more lime juice for tang, soy sauce for saltiness, or honey for sweetness.
