Ingredients
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sambal oelek or chili paste
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup water (or more for desired consistency)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, sambal oelek, and garlic.
- Whisk continuously until smooth and heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Gradually stir in water until the sauce reaches your desired consistency (thick for dipping, thinner for drizzling).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- For a chunkier texture, use crunchy peanut butter.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before serving.
- Adjust spiciness by adding more or less sambal oelek.
