Quantity

Peanut Butter

2 cups (1 1/4 pound)

Water

1 1/3 cups

Soy Sauce, Reduced Sodium

1/2 cup 1/2 cup 3/8 cup 1/4 cup

Sugar, Brown

Lime Juice

Oil, Sesame, Toasted Ginger, Ground Garlic, Granulated

2 teaspoons

1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper or Red Pepper Flakes (optional) 1/2 teaspoon

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place the ingredients in a blender and blend on medium speed until smooth, about 30 seconds. Alternatively, you can mix in a stand mixer or by hand.

Tip: Directions for using a stand mixer in place of a blender: Place the ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer and mix, using the whip attachment. Begin mixing on low speed until the ingredients come together. Then increase speed to medium high and whip until smooth, about 2 minutes.

Variation: * For a Peanut-Free sauce whisk together 1 pint 2 ounces of sweet chili sauce and 1 pint 7 ounces of pineapple juice.
