Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Powdered peanut butter (PB2 or similar)
- 3 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, combine the powdered peanut butter, low sodium soy sauce, almond milk, rice vinegar, maple syrup, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and sriracha. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Step 3
Transfer the peanut sauce mixture to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently as the sauce begins to warm.
Step 4
Once the sauce is heated, add the cornstarch slurry and stir continuously. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool for a minute or two. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed, by adding more lime juice for tanginess, soy sauce for saltiness, or sriracha for heat.
Step 6
Serve immediately or store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
