- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes to create the peanut sauce.

Notes
Ensure the peanut sauce is well-mixed to achieve a creamy and consistent texture. Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by modifying the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your taste preferences. For a touch of freshness, squeeze additional lime juice over the dish just before serving. Experiment with different protein sources like tofu or shrimp to make it your own. Enjoy!
