Karl’s Peanut Dressing

Ingredients

4 Tbs. creamy peanut butter
1 Tbs. fish sauce
1 Tbs. hoisin sauce
1 Tbs. light soy sauce
1 Tbs. lime juice
1+ tsp. sriracha, to taste
1 tsp. agave syrup
½ tsp. dark sesame oil
½+ cup hot water

Directions

1. Place all of the ingredients in a small pot and whisk them together.

Tip: I have tried to stop right here, but the peanut butter does not dissolve enough and leaves you with a lumpy dressing.

Note: I do not like things too spicy, feel free to increase the amount of sriracha to your preferred heat level.

2. Warm the pot over a very low heat, whisking frequently, until the dressing is smooth.

Note: As the peanut butter is heated it will both break down and start to absorb the water. Over time the dressing will thicken substantially. You may have to add more water to get the consistency you desire.
