Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 –3 tablespoons warm water
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha optional

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and honey until smooth and fully combined.
  • Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha if using. Whisk until fully incorporated.
  • Add warm water one tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until sauce reaches desired consistency.
  • Toss with hot noodles in a wok over high heat for 30–45 seconds, or toss with cold noodles and serve immediately at room temperature.

Notes

Always use natural peanut butter — stir thoroughly before measuring.
Add warm water gradually — the sauce loosens quickly.
Store refrigerated up to 5 days. Whisk with warm water before reusing.
