This creamy, savory-sweet sauce comes together in one small saucepan in just a few minutes, whisking creamy peanut butter with fresh lime juice, honey, toasted sesame oil, and rice vinegar until glossy and smooth. Grated garlic and ginger bring warmth and depth, while a pinch of red pepper flakes and an optional spoonful of sriracha give it a gentle kick you can dial up or down. Warm water gets added a tablespoon at a time until you land exactly where you want — thick enough to cling to a spring roll, or thin enough to drizzle over noodles and slaws. It's endlessly adjustable at the end too, with more lime for brightness or more honey for sweetness, so you can tune it to your taste right before serving. Whether you want it warm as a dip or cooled down as a dressing, this one comes together fast and fits neatly into a gluten free spread.
