• 1/2 cup unsweetened peanut butter
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1 tsp cayenne, or more to taste
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
• 3 to 4 scallions, finely chopped
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the peanut butter and warm water, and whisk until well blended and smooth. Stir in the cayenne, then stir in the vinegar and soy sauce. Stir in the garlic and scallions.
Note: This recipe can be doubled or tripled, but increase the garlic and scallions by a lesser proportion.
The sauce gets thicker as it sits, much thicker if refrigerated. You may need to thin it by blending in a little warm water when you take it from the refrigerator. This is a good keeper in the refrigerator, but if you plan to make it ahead, don't add the garlic and scallions until just before you serve the sauce.
