Ingredients

  • 3/4 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
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup warm water to thin (or more as needed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 small cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. 1

    Finely mince the garlic (I suggest using a garlic press so you don't have any large chunks) and add to a large mixing bowl. 

  2. 2

    Add all ingredients aside from the water and whisk together until smooth. 

  3. 3

    Slowly pour in the water until your desired consistency is reached. Start with 1/2 cup and add more as needed. I usually add more for a dressing and a bit less for a sauce.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. You may want more soy sauce, sweetener or red pepper flakes. Serve with noodle bowls, tofu, tempeh, chicken, stir fries etc!
