Ingredients

4 servings

For the sauce

¼ cup natural peanut butter (smooth)
3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
2 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp garlic-infused oil
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
1 tsp rice vinegar
¼ tsp toasted sesame oil
2–4 tbsp water, as needed to thin
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the peanut butter, lime juice, tamari, maple syrup, garlic-infused oil, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil in a small saucepan. Whisk together over low heat until the peanut butter loosens and the mixture is smooth and uniform, about 2 minutes.
2
Add water 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until the sauce is pourable and coats the back of a spoon — it should flow off the whisk in a steady ribbon rather than clumping. Two tablespoons is usually enough for a stir-fry coating; add a third if you want a thinner drizzle.
