  • cup Peanut Butter (166g) Smooth, Salted
  • ½ cup Coconut Milk (120ml) Canned, Full Fat, Unsweetened
  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce (60ml)
  • 2 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Ground Ginger

Notes

  1. Use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce if you want this sauce to be gluten-free.
  2. You could use cayenne pepper instead of dried chili flakes but if you do, start off with ⅛ tsp and see if it's spicy enough.
  3. Keep leftovers stored in the fridge and enjoy within about 5 days.
  4. This recipe makes around 1 and ¾ cups of peanut sauce.
