Ingredients

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup reduced sodium tamari or reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 to 2 medium cloves garlic, pressed or minced, to taste
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus more for sprinkling
2 to 4 tablespoons water or coconut milk, or as necessary to reach your desired consistency
Optional garnishes: sprinkling of chopped roasted peanuts and additional red pepper flakes

Steps:

In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup or medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the ingredients until well blended. If your peanut butter is particularly thick, you may need to use the full 4 tablespoons of water to thin out the mixture (or more, if necessary).
Feel free to adjust to taste here-for example, sometimes I want my sauce more savory and add another clove of garlic, or a little sweeter, so I add extra honey.
If you're serving the sauce as a party dip, transfer it to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped peanuts and red pepper flakes for some visual interest!

SPICY PEANUT-COCONUT DIP

Spicy Peanut-Coconut Dip image

Inspired by the Thai peanut sauces served with meat and vegetable satay, this dip uses coconut cream-rather than the traditional coconut milk-to achieve a thicker, more dippable consistency, perfect for dunking fresh veggies.
