Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1-2 tablespoons water (to thin)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1-2 tablespoons water.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the creamy peanut butter. Use a spatula or a whisk to break it up slightly, making it easier to combine with the other ingredients.
- Pour in the soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, lime juice, and grated ginger into the bowl with the peanut butter.
- Using a whisk or a fork, mix all the ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Make sure there are no lumps of peanut butter remaining.
- If the sauce is too thick for your liking, gradually add 1 tablespoon of water at a time, mixing well after each addition, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or saltiness if necessary by adding more honey or soy sauce, depending on your preference.
- Once the sauce is smooth and flavorful, transfer it to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage.
- This Thai peanut butter dipping sauce is perfect for fresh vegetables, spring rolls, chicken skewers, or as a dressing for salads. Enjoy!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better flavor integration.
- Choose a high-quality creamy peanut butter for the richest taste.
- Adjust water gradually to control the sauce's consistency - start with less and add more as needed.
- For a spicy kick, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a dairy-free version, ensure your honey is replaced with maple syrup.
- Taste and adjust seasonings to suit your family's palate - cooking is all about personalization!
