Peanut sauce

Ingredients

• 1 5.6-oz. can regular coconut milk, about 1/3 cup
• 1/2 cup coarse ground or “chunky” natural peanut butter*
• 1/2 cup water
• 3 tbsp maple syrup or sugar
• 1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 inch piece fresh ginger, minced or grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp sesame oil

Directions

Combine all the ingredients and refrigerate. You may want to add more maple syrup or tamari if you prefer a sweeter or saltier flavor. The sauce will keep for at least a week in the fridge, so this can be done in advance.
