Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Peanut Butter smooth works best
  • Soy Sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option
  • Rice Vinegar
  • Maple Syrup or honey for sweetness
  • Fresh Ginger or ground ginger in a pinch
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds optional, for a nutty bite
  • Red Pepper Flakes or Sriracha for spice
  • Warm Water to adjust consistency

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients except water. Whisk to fully combine.
  2. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. I normally use 2 tablespoons for a sauce and up to four if using it for a dressing.

Notes

This sauce is the ultimate kitchen multitasker. Here are just a few mouthwatering ways to put it to work:
As a dipping sauce for fresh spring rolls or veggie platters
Drizzled over a noodle salad or grain bowl
Tossed with stir-fried tofu or tempeh
Swirled into a peanut noodle pasta
Used as a marinade for baked tofu or grilled veggies
As a creamy salad dressing for Asian-inspired slaws or quinoa bowls
Once you try it, you'll want to pour it over just about everything!
