Ingredients
– 1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
– 2 tbsp soy sauce
– 1 tbsp lime juice
– 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
– 1 tbsp sesame oil
– 1/2 tsp garlic powder
– 1/2 tsp ginger powder
– 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
– 2 tbsp coconut milk or water (to thin as needed)
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, and red pepper flakes (if using).
2. Gradually add coconut milk or water, stirring until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness as needed.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lime juice for acidity, honey for sweetness, or soy sauce for saltiness.
