Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, tamari, lime juice, maple syrup, and sriracha. Use a microplane to finely mince the ginger and garlic on top. Whisk well until the ingredients are mixed. (It will be thick at this point.)
- Add a tablespoon of water to the bowl, and whisk again until the sauce is thinner. If you want an even thinner sauce, add another tablespoon of water, and stir again. Be careful not to add too much water at once, so the sauce won't get too thin.
- This peanut sauce can be used right away or stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It will thicken when chilled, so you may need to add another tablespoon of water when you get it out of the fridge later. Or let it come to room temperature to thin out again.
Notes
- Nutrition information is for roughly 3 tablespoons of sauce. This information is automatically calculated, and is just an estimate, and not a guarantee.
- This recipe was tested with all-natural creamy peanut butter (the only ingredients on the label are peanuts and salt). You can use almond butter, cashew butter, or tahini as an alternative to peanut butter.
- Tamari is often a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce, but be sure to check the label because it's not always gluten-free. Use regular soy sauce if you don't need a gluten-free option. If you need a soy-free recipe, try coconut aminos instead. You'll probably have to add extra salt, in that case, since it's not as salty as soy sauce or tamari.
