Asian Peanut Sauce

We recommend serving this Asian sauce with tempeh, tofu, grilled vegetables, etc.

Ingredients:

½ cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2-3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons maple syrup
½ teaspoon fresh grated ginger
3-5 tablespoons water or coconut milk (you may need more, depending on the desired consistency)
¼ teaspoon chili flakes
½ teaspoon garlic powder (or fresh garlic cloves, minced)

Instructions:

1. If your peanut butter of choice is not completely smooth, place all ingredients in a small saucepan over low-medium heat. Heat until smooth and creamy, stirring constantly.
2. Otherwise, place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix with a fork until creamy.
3. Taste and add more soy sauce if it’s not spicy enough. Add more water or coconut milk if the sauce is too thick.

Yield: 4 servings
