Thai Peanut Dipping Sauce
This is my knockoff of the peanut dressing from Thai restaurants. I put it on everything - salads, cold noodles, grilled chicken, veggie bowls. Takes 5 minutes to make and costs way less than buying the bottled version that never tastes as good anyway.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 2/3 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup water optional
Instructions
- Whisk peanut butter, rice vinegar, lime juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger and red pepper flakes until smooth.
- For salad dressing: Add 1/4 cup water, whisk until pourable. Add more water if needed.
- For dipping sauce: Skip water to keep thick.
- Transfer to jar and refrigerate up to 1 week.
- Shake or stir before using. If too thick, whisk in hot water.
