Peanut Sauce

Ingredients:

- 6 thin slices of ginger- cut across the grain, about the size of a quarter. (No need to peel)
- 2 fat cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice (roughly 1 large orange)
- 1/3 cup lime juice ( 2 limes)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce or Gluten-free Braggs Liquid Amino Acids (Note: Tamari will turn this unpleasantly dark)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup, ( or honey, palm sugar or agave,)more to taste
- 1/3 cup toasted sesame oil (6 tablespoons)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened peanut butter (chunky or smooth, or sub almond butter!)
- 1 teaspoon salt
optional: 1 -2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (or a squirt of sriracha sauce)

Preparation:

- Place all ingredients in a blender - ginger, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce, maple, sesame oil, and peanut butter and salt, and blend until smooth. Taste. Adjust sweetness, salt and cayenne to your liking.

Note: Unripe limes can make this too tart. Adjust by adding more sweetness. Find your perfect balance.
Use this on salads, or as a dipping sauce for spring rolls and satays.
NOTES

The Orange Juice makes this... and is a MUST!
Peanut sauce will last up to 5 days in a sealed jar in the fridge.
Peanut Sauce can be frozen, just whisk well after thawing.
For added depth or (umami), feel free to add a tiny splash of fish sauce. Not necessary though!
