Ingredients

• 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced or grated
• 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (optional, for spice)
• 2 tablespoons warm water
• 1 tablespoon roasted peanuts, crushed (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and soy sauce. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 2

Add rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, fresh lime juice, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk together until the mixture develops a uniform texture.

Step 3

If you want the sauce to have a spicy kick, stir in chili garlic sauce to taste.

Step 4

Slowly add warm water, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking. Adjust the consistency to your liking by adding more or less water.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary (e.g., more soy sauce for saltiness, honey for sweetness, or lime juice for brightness).

Step 6

Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and, if desired, garnish with crushed roasted peanuts for added texture.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a dipping sauce for spring rolls, grilled meats, fresh vegetables, or noodles. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
