Ingredients

3/4 cup natural style peanut butter $0.82
1/4 cup coconut milk, optional $0.16
juice from 1/2 a lime $0.17
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled, grated (optional) $0.24
1 clove garlic, minced $0.06
1 tsp sriracha sauce, rooster hot sauce $0.05
1 Tbsp soy sauce $0.03
1/2 tsp sesame oil, optional $0.02
1 Tbsp brown sugar $0.03
1/4 bunch cilantro $0.17
1/4 - 1/2 cup water $0.00

Instructions

Make sure your natural style peanut butter is thoroughly mixed before measuring (you don’t want to get all oil or all solids). In a blender or food processor combine all of the ingredients except the sriracha sauce. Begin with only 1/4 cup of water and add more until you get the consistency you want (I used 1/2 cup total). Add the sriracha sauce a little at a time (blending between) until it is to your desired heat (I used about 1/2 tsp).
Enjoy the peanut sauce on salads, pasta or as a dipping sauce!
