Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, sriracha, ginger, and garlic.

Continue to stir until all the ingredients are well combined and the sauce is smooth and heated through, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice for tanginess or more soy sauce for saltiness.
