Method

  1. Whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sriracha, garlic and ginger together in a bowl. It will be very thick.

  2. Whisk in the warm water a little at a time until the sauce is smooth and pourable.

  3. Taste and adjust with more lime, honey or sriracha. Serve with spring rolls, grilled chicken, noodles or salad.

Tips

  • Warm water helps the peanut butter loosen and blend smoothly.
  • It thickens in the fridge. Whisk in a splash of warm water before serving again.
  • Make it vegan with maple syrup instead of honey.
