Ingredients
150g smooth peanut butter
2 tbsp maple syrup
1.5 tbsp soy sauce
½ lime
1 red chilli
2 small cloves garlic
1 tsp grated ginger
Instructions
Firstly, combine the garlic, chilli and ginger into a fine, punchy puree. You can grate the ingredients, or use a pestle and mortar.
Next, add the soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, and ¾ of your spice puree to the peanut butter. Combine well. Now, you can add little sips of water and whisk it into the sauce. Once your sauce reaches your desired consistency, check and adjust for seasoning.
Depending on your preference, you can make the peanut sauce sweeter by adding additional maple syrup, giving it more tang with lime juice, soy sauce for a saltier umami flavour, or more of your spice paste for flavour and kick!
Notes
I’d recommend to rather add too little of these flavourful ingredients at first and working your way up until the peanut sauce is perfect to your liking. The best ratio depends on your preference and the dish you want to use the sauce with!
