Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce (tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- 2 tsp fresh grated ginger or ginger paste
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
- 1 tsp honey (maple syrup or agave nectar for vegan)
- 1/2 tsp sriracha or spicy chili paste, or red pepper flakes to taste
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth.
- Add water as needed to thin the sauce to your desired consistency.
- Store sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
Notes
- For gluten-free, use coconut aminos or low sodium tamari in place of soy sauce.
- For vegan, use agave nectar or maple syrup in place of honey.
- I love ginger paste that comes in a tube or jar (sold in the produce section near the fresh herbs) for ease, but grated or finely chopped fresh ginger is perfect, too. If you can't find fresh, use 1/2 tsp ginger powder.
- I love rice vinegar because I'm lazy and don't like making a mess squeezing limes if I don't have to, but limes taste amazing in this sauce, too. Or use a little bit of each!
