Peanut Sauce

adapted from http://allrecipes.com/recipe/the-best-thai-peanut-sauce/

1 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup coconut milk
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
2 tsp crushed garlic


note that I reduced the amount of peanut butter to 1 cup from 1.5 cups. I also added 1/4 cup of coconut milk because it was very thick. More probably could have been added. If using as a dipping sauce, maybe stick to 1/2 cup but could probably use up to 1 cup if using as a sauce for a stir fry.
