Ingredients
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 tablespoons hot water (for dipping sauce) or 6 tablespoons (for dressing)
Directions
For a thick dipping sauce: Combine the peanut butter, minced garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and 3 tablespoons of hot water in a bowl. Whisk together until smooth and fully incorporated.
For a thinner sauce to use as a salad dressing or Buddha bowl topping: Use 6 tablespoons of hot water instead of 3 tablespoons. Add all ingredients to a mason jar, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Transfer any leftover sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate. The sauce will keep for up to 4 days. Stir or shake again before serving if the ingredients have separated.
