Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce

• portions: 2/3 cup
• temps actif: 15 minutes
• temps total: 15 minutes

Ingrédients

• 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter

• 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice

• 2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

• 4 tsp brown sugar

• 4 tsp sambal oelek (optional)

• 4 Tbsp water, depending

Instructions

Whisk all ingredients together, adding water in Tbsp increments until desired consistency. Thick has more flavor and is great for a spring roll dipping sauce but doesn’t pour and coat as well. Thinner is better for a buddha bowl. f you're sensitive to spice, omit the sambal oelek.

Notes

From Rachel: When making this with the Thai Buddha bowl, I double or triple the recipe, yielding 1 1/3–2 cups sauce.
