Notes
- If the peanut butter is thick: Warming it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds can make it easier to mix.
- Add the water incrementally: Add just one tablespoon at a time, mixing it well until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Start with less soy sauce: As this is the peanut dipping sauce's main 'salty' element, we recommend adding it just a little at a time to your desired flavor to avoid it being overly salty.
- Adjust the spiciness: You can omit it entirely or increase the amount to taste.
