Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced or grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, Sriracha, lime juice, and honey (or maple syrup).
Step 2
Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil.
Step 3
Slowly whisk in the water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired sauce consistency is reached. The sauce should be smooth and pourable but not too runny.
