Description
A quick and delicious peanut sauce perfect for dipping, drizzling, or dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons tamari (or soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 inch fresh ginger, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, tamari, lime juice, maple syrup, and sriracha. Use a microplane to finely mince the ginger and garlic on top. Whisk well until the ingredients are mixed. (It will be thick at this point.)
- Add a tablespoon of water to the bowl, and whisk again until the sauce is thinner. If you want an even thinner sauce, add another tablespoon of water, and stir again. Be careful not to add too much water at once, so the sauce won’t get too thin.
- This peanut sauce can be used right away or stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It will thicken when chilled, so you may need to add another tablespoon of water when you get it out of the fridge later. Or let it come to room temperature to thin out again.
Notes
- Adjust the level of sriracha based on your spice preference.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
