Peanut Sauce Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2–4 tablespoons water (to adjust consistency)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and honey.
- Whisk Together: Whisk all the ingredients thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and evenly combined.
- Adjust Consistency: Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency—thick for dipping or thinner for drizzling.
- Serve: Use immediately as a dip for vegetables, spring rolls, or chicken, or as a sauce for noodles, salads, or grilled meats. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or chili flakes.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan version.
- If the sauce becomes too thick after refrigeration, stir in a little warm water before serving.
- Use natural peanut butter (without added sugar or oils) for a healthier option.
