# Ingredients:
→ Essentials
01 -
1 tablespoon sesame oil
02 -
1/4 cup soy sauce
03 -
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
04 -
1-2 teaspoons sriracha or red pepper flakes (adjust spice to your liking)
05 -
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
06 -
1 cup smooth peanut butter
07 -
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
08 -
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped (optional for extra kick)
09 -
1/2 cup warm water (use more or less depending on texture preference)
# Instructions:
01 -
Get a bowl that's large enough to mix in. Add the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey or syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha or chili flakes, and garlic (if using). It's a combo that's bursting with flavors!
02 -
Using a whisk (or even a fork), mix all the ingredients together. Keep stirring until everything merges into a smooth, silky sauce. That's when you'll see everything come together beautifully.
03 -
Slowly pour in warm water, little by little, while you're mixing. Keep an eye on the thickness—stop when it feels right. Want it thick? Use less water. Prefer it runny? Add more. It's all about making it work for what you need.
04 -
After mixing, give it a taste. Too mild? Toss in a bit more sriracha or red pepper. Craving more sweetness? Add a hint of honey or syrup. Tweak it until it's exactly how you like it.
05 -
Enjoy your sauce right away! It's perfect with grilled chicken, crunchy veggies, or spooned over bowls of rice or noodles. Got leftovers? Keep them fresh in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week. It's too good to waste!
# Notes:
01 -
This creamy Thai-inspired peanut blend is loaded with nutty richness and a zingy punch! Soy, lime, and honey come together for a flavor explosion.

Whether you dip veggies or drizzle it over noodles, it makes every bite a treat. I love keeping extra in the fridge for quick snacks or easy weeknight meals!

Thick sauces are perfect for dipping, while thinner versions work well drizzled on any dish.
