Ingredients  

  • 1 cup peanut butter (unsweetened is best - chunky is fine)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (*dietary note - verify gluten-free)
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (cut back if the peanut butter is sweetened)
  • 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
  • 2 Tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 Tbsp grated ginger root (or 1/2 tsp powdered ginger)
  • ⅓ cup warm water (more or less for preferred thickness)

Instructions: 

  • Combine all the ingredients except for the water and whisk thoroughly.
  • Add the water a couple Tbsp at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Notes:

Make Ahead: You can easily make this ahead of time and store it in the fridge.
For dressings, you will likely want it more runny than for a sauce.
