Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, and chili flakes (if using).
Slowly add the coconut milk and continue whisking until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
If the sauce is too thick, add the warm water a little at a time to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed—add more sugar for sweetness, soy sauce for saltiness, or lime juice for extra tang.

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

If you prefer a spicier sauce, increase the chili flakes or add a dash of hot sauce.
For a nuttier flavor, use crunchy peanut butter.
You can also use almond butter or cashew butter as a variation.

This sauce can be used for dipping, drizzling over grilled chicken, tofu, or vegetables, or as a salad dressing.
