A creamy, flavorful peanut sauce that blends savory, sweet, tangy, and nutty notes—perfect for noodles, salads, grilled proteins, or dipping.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup warm water (adjust for desired consistency)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili paste or a pinch of chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
  2. Gradually add warm water, whisking continuously, until sauce reaches your desired consistency.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime juice, honey, or chili paste if desired.
  4. Use immediately or store for later use.

Notes

  • Add coconut milk for a richer, creamier version.
  • Use crunchy peanut butter for texture.
  • Make it gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Serve as a dip, drizzle, or dressing for noodles, salads, or grilled meats.
  • If sauce thickens in the fridge, stir in a little warm water before using.
