Spicy Peanut Sauce

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

1. 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).
2. Enjoy the peanut sauce on salads, pasta or as a dipping sauce!
