Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey (or brown sugar)
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and coconut milk. Stir or whisk until smooth and well-blended.

Step 2

Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, fresh lime juice, and honey (or brown sugar) to the bowl, and mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Adjust the red pepper flakes based on your preferred level of heat.

Step 4

Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Add more water if needed for a thinner sauce.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as necessary. Add a bit more soy sauce for saltiness, lime juice for acidity, or honey for sweetness.

Step 6

Serve immediately as a dipping sauce for spring rolls, satay, or vegetables, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Stir before serving if it thickens in the fridge.
