Natural peanut butter (just peanuts and salt) gives the cleanest flavor; if yours is unsalted, add a pinch of salt. The sauce thickens in the fridge, so loosen it with a splash of hot water before serving. It keeps 5 days.
Method
-
Whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, sesame oil and ginger in a bowl until smooth. It will look thick and stiff at first.
-
Whisk in the hot water a tablespoon or two at a time until the sauce is pourable but still coats a spoon.
-
Stir in the pepper flakes, then taste and adjust with more lime for brightness or more soy for salt.
-
Spoon into a small bowl and scatter the chopped peanuts over the top to serve.
