Ingredients

• 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili paste
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha or chili paste.

Step 2

Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the water into the sauce, whisking as you go, until you reach your desired consistency. The sauce should be smooth and creamy but pourable.

Step 4

Heat a small saucepan over low heat and pour the sauce into the pan.

Step 5

Warm the sauce gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the pan. Adjust seasoning as needed (add more lime juice for tanginess, honey or maple syrup for sweetness, or sriracha for spice).

Step 6

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Use immediately for your stir fry dish or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Step 7

For extra presentation and crunch, garnish your dish with crushed peanuts before serving.
