- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1-2 teaspoons Sriracha hot sauce
- 2-6 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk, as needed or water
In a medium sized bowl, whisk all the ingredients together until smooth. Start with just 2 tablespoons of coconut milk or water, and add more as needed to thin the sauce.
If serving as a dip, sprinkle with crushed peanuts. The sauce also goes well with cooked vegetables, noodles, buddha bowls, fresh spring rolls, tofu and salads. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. It can also be frozen in a freezer safe container.
- May use no-stir or natural peanut butter.
- Peanut allergy? Use almond, cashew or sunflower seed butter.
- May use lime juice instead of rice vinegar.
- Gluten free? Make sure to use gluten free tamari instead of soy sauce.
- For the additional liquid, I usually just use water, but coconut milk will take it to the next level of creamy and delicious!
