Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1/3 cup of seasoned rice vinegar, and 3 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce. Having everything ready makes the process much smoother.
Next, take a small mixing bowl and add the creamy peanut butter first. It should be at room temperature for easy mixing.
Pour in the seasoned rice vinegar next. This ingredient is crucial for balancing the richness of the peanut butter.
Now, add the low-sodium soy sauce. This will bring depth and umami to your sauce.
Whisk all the ingredients together vigorously. You want to ensure that everything is well combined and that the mixture is smooth.
As you whisk, observe the texture—aim for a creamy, uniform consistency without lumps. If it seems too thick, don’t hesitate to add a splash of water to adjust the consistency.
Once you’ve achieved the desired smoothness, take a moment to taste your sauce. This step is essential! If you want more acidity, consider a touch more vinegar.
If you like, garnish with chopped peanuts for an extra crunch and presentation before serving.
