Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- lime juice of 1
- 2 tablespoons Chili garlic sauce
- 2 garlic finely grated
- 1 ginger chunk of finely grated
- 2 tablespoons palm sugar
- 2 teaspoons coconut vinegar or rice wine vinegar
- 15 ounce coconut milk can, full-fat
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients except for the coconut milk to a large bowl.
- Gently whisk everything together until combined. This peanut butter will tighten up a little bit.
- Slowly add in the coconut milk a ½ cup at a time and gently whisk it in until the sauce is smooth and combined. I usually only use about ½ of the coconut fat that’s at the top of the can.
- Store covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Notes
- This sauce can be prepared up to three days in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to seven days.
- For a smoother sauce, use creamy peanut butter, but chunky peanut butter may be used to add texture.
- Use canned full-fat coconut milk to maximize fat content and flavor; bottled coconut milk can be substituted if needed.
