Before You Begin
- 6 servings
- Prep: 5 mins
- Cook: 5 mins
- Total: 10 mins
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup Peanut Butter
- ¼ cup Soy Sauce
- 1 ½ tsp Ginger Powder (or fresh, minced ginger)
- 2 tsp Garlic (minced)
- 2 tsp Chili Flakes
- 2 tbsp Lime Juice
- 1 ½ tbsp Sugar (or maple syrup)
- 6 tbsp Water
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger powder, garlic, chili flakes, and lime juice.
- Mix in water one tbsp at a time until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
- Transfer sauce to an airtight container in the fridge and let sit for at least 10 minutes - the flavors combine so well if you let it sit! Refrigerate leftovers for up to 10 days.
Notes
- Add more or fewer chili flakes to reach your desired spicy level. I found 2 tsp was plenty spicy!
- You can sub lime juice for lemon juice or even apple cider vinegar.
- The longer you let the sauce sit after being mixed, the better the flavor becomes. Make sure to let the sauce sit before tweaking the ingredients too much, I find it becomes sweeter after resting.
- This peanut sauce is perfect in our Spicy Peanut Chickpeas recipe!
