Ingredients

• 0.5 cup peanut butter (creamy or natural)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1.5 tablespoons sriracha
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon ginger (freshly grated)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons water (adjust for consistency)
• 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, honey, ginger, garlic, lime juice, and sesame oil.

Step 2

Whisk the ingredients together until a thick and creamy mixture forms.

Step 3

Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking, until the dip reaches your desired consistency. For a thicker dip, use less water; for a thinner sauce-like consistency, add a bit more.

Step 4

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more sriracha for extra heat, lime juice for acidity, or honey for sweetness if desired.

Step 5

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with crushed peanuts and chopped cilantro, if using.

Step 6

Serve immediately with fresh veggies, crackers, spring rolls, or grilled meat, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir before serving if refrigerated.
