1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
04 -
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
05 -

1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

# Instructions:
01 -
Start by taking a medium mixing bowl. In this bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, freshly squeezed lime juice, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha (or red pepper flakes), and minced garlic if you like a little extra flavor. It's a mix that packs a punch!
02 -
Grab a whisk (a fork works too!) and mix all the ingredients together thoroughly. Whisk until everything is well combined and you have a smooth sauce. This is where the magic happens—turning all those wonderful ingredients into one delightful blend!
03 -
Now it's time to get your sauce to the perfect thickness. Gradually add the warm water, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking continuously. Keep going until you reach your desired consistency—thicker for dipping, or thinner for drizzling over salads or grain bowls. It's totally up to you!
04 -
Once your sauce is looking good, take a moment to taste it. If you want it sweeter, add a little more honey or maple syrup. If you like it spicy, kick it up with extra sriracha or red pepper flakes. This step is all about making it just right for your own taste buds.

Now you're ready to serve! Use this delicious Thai peanut sauce with fresh vegetables, grilled meats, or as a dressing for your favorite salads and grain bowls. If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy every last drop!
