Notes
Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger offers a zesty kick that powdered ginger can't match. Grate it finely for a more even distribution of flavor.
Stir thoroughly to avoid lumps: Whisk the sauce vigorously to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated and the sauce is smooth, especially if your peanut butter is thick!
Let the sauce rest: After mixing, let the sauce sit for a few minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld together better.
Start with less water and gradually add more to avoid making the sauce too thin. You can always add more, but you can’t take it away!
