This creamy, tangy peanut sauce comes together in one bowl with almost no effort. Fresh lime juice and zest bring bright citrus punch against rich, creamy peanut butter, while grated ginger and a pinch of red pepper flakes add warmth and gentle heat. A touch of toasted sesame oil rounds out the flavor with nutty depth, and honey balances everything with just the right amount of sweetness. Whisk in warm water gradually until it turns silky and pourable, perfect for drizzling over noodles, grain bowls, or crisp fresh vegetables. It's a fantastic sauce to keep on hand for a vegetarian kitchen, ready in minutes and endlessly versatile.

Add the peanut butter, lime juice, tamari, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and red pepper flakes to a small bowl. Whisk together until smooth and fully combined.
Add warm water 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until the sauce is pourable and coats the back of a spoon — about 3 to 5 tablespoons total depending on your peanut butter's thickness.
