In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, and coconut milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the dip to cool slightly.

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro leaves.

Step 6

Serve warm or at room temperature with fresh vegetables, grilled skewers, or crackers.
