Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy unsweetened peanut butter
  • 1 cup brown rice vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger (or 1-inch grated fresh ginger)
  • 1 clove garlic (grated on a microplane or ¼ teaspoon ground garlic powder)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Peanut Butter
  • Maple Syrup

Method
 

  1. Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl. Stir until the sauce is a uniformly creamy consistency, which may take 30-60 seconds. Keep stirring if it looks separated or chunky—it will come together, I promise!
  2. Serve tossed with noodles or shredded Napa cabbage, drizzled over chicken or shrimp, or as a dipping sauce for steamed veggies.
  3. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.

Notes

  • Stir the sauce: Together until it’s well-combined.
  • Use a blender: To make the sauce and throw in a handful of spinach or kale to add nutrients.
  • Thin with water: As needed—add water and stir until it’s totally incorporated if it’s too thick to easily drizzle over food.
  • Store fresh ginger: In a freezer bag in the freezer and grate it (still frozen) into the bowl.
  • Use alternative nut butters: Such as sunbutter or almond butter as needed/desired.
