Peanut Sauce

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup warm water, plus more as needed

Method

1. 1

   Combine peanut butter, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.

2. 2

   Warm the water slightly, then whisk it into the peanut butter mixture a tablespoon at a time — using warm water added gradually like this is what keeps the peanut butter loosening smoothly into a pourable sauce; cold water added all at once can cause the natural oils and solids in peanut butter to seize up into a stiff, separated clump instead.

3. 3

   Continue whisking and adding water until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.

4. 4

   Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

5. 5

   Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 1 week, thinning with a splash of warm water before serving if it thickens.
