Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
  2. Whisk together until smooth.
  3. If the sauce feels too thick, add water a little at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.

Notes

Store in the fridge for about 1 week in an airtight container. The sauce may thicken up, so give it a good stir before using. Can also be frozen for about 3 months.
