Easy Thai Peanut Sauce

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup peanut butter (made with just peanuts + salt)
• 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
• 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1/2 cup warm water to thin (or more as needed)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 small cloves garlic (finely minced)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. Finely mince the garlic (I suggest using a garlic press so you don’t have any large chunks) and add to a large mixing bowl.
2. Add all ingredients aside from the water and whisk together until smooth.
3. Slowly pour in the water until your desired consistency is reached. Start with 1/2 cup and add more as needed. I usually add more for a dressing and a bit less for a sauce.
4. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. You may want more soy sauce, sweetener or red pepper flakes. Serve with noodle bowls, tofu, tempeh, chicken, stir fries etc!
