Fantastic recipe! I made a few changes based on what I had. I used powdered ginger and omitted garlic. A really easy and tasty recipe, loved it thanks for posting!

I originally made this recipe because it had few ingredients and all I already had on hand. But, now I am addicted to it! And I love the fact that it can be kept for a month in the fridge, because I put it on everything. :) Great just on rice or for dipping or stir-fry...with garden burgers...it is amazing.

Super!!! Don't be afraid to try this if you don't own a blender or food processor. I was too lazy to drag mine out, so I just broke the peanut butter and water up a bit with a wooden spoon and then used my whisk to finish it all out. Cookiedog, thanks for a great recipe! I will be making again!

I originally made this a glaze (added a bit less water and a little brown sugar) to go on a chicken breast that I roasted for my Thai Chicken Pizza. I slathered some on the breast and popped it in the oven. It came out and was tasty. I was going to give it 4 stars.<br/><br/>Then I saw the leftover sauce in the fridge today at lunch time and thought to myself "hmmm, I wonder if that would be any good on these pita chips?..." So I tried it. And GOOD SCOTT!!! Rhapsody. Delight. Simply: Yum.<br/><br/>Good as a glaze to cook with. SO SO much better to dip veggies, chips, grilled steak (yes, I tried it on half the contents of my fridge). Thank you cookiedog for a new obsession :)

I made this to eat with a Morning Star Mushroom Burger, and it was exactly what I was after. Yum.
