The Best Peanut Sauce (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Sauce Foundation

01 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari

02 - ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter (natural)

03 - 2 tablespoons syrup (maple or similar)

04 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

→ Taste Boosters

05 - 1 garlic clove, minced

06 - 1 tablespoon hot sauce (like sriracha)

07 - 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, finely grated

→ Texture Adjusters

08 - 1-2 tablespoons of water (if needed)

# Instructions:

01 - Grab a medium-sized bowl and toss in the peanut butter, soy sauce (or tamari), lime juice, syrup, and hot sauce. Use a fine grater to mince both the garlic and ginger right into the mix.

02 - Using a whisk, stir all the ingredients really well. At this stage, expect the mixture to be pretty thick.

03 - Add one tablespoon of water at a time, mixing after each addition until you get the thickness you like. Be cautious with the water so you don't accidentally make it too runny.

04 - Serve the sauce right away as a dip, drizzle, or topping. If you're saving it, pop it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to five days. Keep in mind it thickens when chilled—add a little water or let it warm up to loosen again before using.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, use peanut butter with only peanuts and salt listed as ingredients.

02 - Don't have peanut butter? Try almond butter, tahini, or cashew butter as swaps.

03 - Avoiding soy? Sub in coconut aminos, but you might want to sprinkle in a little more salt since it's milder.
