Ingredients

½ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1.5 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
½ teaspoon ginger
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon lime juice
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ cup water or coconut milk

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, lime juice, and red pepper flakes.
Gradually add water or coconut milk, a little at a time, whisking until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. If you want to spread or dip it, add less water/milk, and for drizzling, add more water/milk.
Taste the sauce and adjust the flavors if needed, adding more lime juice, soy sauce, or red pepper flakes to suit your taste.
Use immediately as a dip, drizzle, or toss with noodles. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

Storage Information

Refrigerator: Store your Thai peanut sauce in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir well before using, as the ingredients may naturally separate over time.

Freezer: For longer storage, you can freeze the sauce in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator and whisk to restore the smooth texture before serving.
