Mix the peanut butter, soy sauce, and honey - In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, and honey until smooth and well combined. - If the peanut butter is too thick, microwave it for a few seconds to make it easier to whisk with the other ingredients.

Add the garlic, lime juice, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes - Add the minced garlic, lime juice, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to the peanut butter mixture and whisk until well combined. - Make sure to mince the garlic finely to avoid large chunks in the sauce.

Thin the sauce with water - Gradually add water to the sauce, whisking constantly, until you reach the desired consistency. If you prefer a thicker sauce, use less water. If you prefer a thinner sauce, use more water. - Add the water a little at a time to avoid making the sauce too thin.

Taste and adjust seasoning - Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning to your liking. You can add more soy sauce or lime juice if you want it to be saltier or tangier, respectively. You can also add more honey or red pepper flakes if you want it to be sweeter or spicier, respectively. - Remember that the sauce will become a little saltier after you add it to your dish, so don't overdo it on the soy sauce.

Serve and enjoy! - Use the peanut sauce as a topping, dip, or marinade for your favorite dishes. It pairs well with grilled chicken, tofu, rice, noodles, and vegetables. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. - Try adding the sauce to a stir-fry or using it as a salad dressing for a quick and flavorful meal.
