Instructions:

  • Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients. Start by gathering all your ingredients. This will make the process smoother and quicker.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Garlic and Ginger. Peel one clove of garlic and a 2-inch piece of ginger. For best results, grate the ginger finely and chop the garlic.
  • Step 3: Combine All Ingredients. In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the natural peanut butter, water, chopped garlic, grated ginger, Tamari, maple syrup, lime juice, rice vinegar, and Sambal Oelek.
  • Step 4: Blend Until Smooth. Cover and blend the mixture until it reaches a creamy and smooth consistency. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more water until it's just right.
  • Step 5: Taste and Adjust. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with sea salt and ground black pepper as needed. You can also add more lime juice or sweetener if desired.
  • Step 6: Serve and Enjoy! Transfer the creamy peanut sauce to a serving bowl and enjoy it with your favorite dishes, from salads to noodles and everything in between.
