Ingredients
¾ cup peanut butter (made with just peanuts + salt)
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
1–2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil (omit if you don’t want any sesame flavor)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
½ cup warm water (to thin, or more as needed)
½ teaspoon ground ginger
2 small cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
¼–½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Finely mince the garlic using a garlic press to avoid large chunks, and add it to a large mixing bowl.
Add all ingredients except for the water, and whisk together until smooth.
Slowly pour in the warm water, starting with ½ cup, and whisk until your desired consistency is reached. Add more water if necessary, depending on whether you’re using it as a dressing or a sauce.
Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. You may want to add more soy sauce, sweetener, or red pepper flakes.
Serve with noodle bowls, tofu, tempeh, chicken, stir fries, or as a dip for fresh veggies.
