How to Make Simple Peanut Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, or until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature before serving. For a thinner sauce, add 1-2 tablespoons of water, whisking until desired consistency is reached.
