1/2 cup peanut butter *I am using unsweetened & unsalted
2 Tablespoons Tamari low sodium, or soy sauce NOTE: start with less if your PB is salted, or if you are using regular sodium Tamari/ soy
1.5 Tablespoons Maple syrup
1 teaspoon Sriracha
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1.5 Tablespoons lime juice juice of one lime
1/4 cup water or add more until desired consistency

Nutritional information is approximate and was calculated using a recipe nutrition label generator.

You can make the following modifications, as needed.

I have skipped the lime juice, and it was still great. We don't always have limes when a craving hits. Still good!
This sauce is pretty salty. If you are on a lower sodium diet, start with a Tablespoon, and add more, to taste.
Start with less Tamari if you are using full sodium, or if your peanut butter is salted. You can always add more, to taste, but you can't take it out. 😉 So keep that in mind.
Start with a little less maple syrup, if your peanut butter is sweetened. You can always add more, to taste.
1/4 cup water gave me perfect texture. If you prefer thinner sauce, add a little more water, a Tablespoon or so at a time, and blend, util you get your preferred texture.
You can use honey or agave as alternative sweeteners.
You can use another nut butter, such as almond butter or cashew butter, if you are allergic to peanuts.
