Soy Peanut Sauce: Thin Unsweetened Peanut Butter with Water

Before cooking for one

Start with an ingredient you already have, then check the recipe's full ingredient list, quantities and equipment before choosing your meal. For a solo meal, use its one-serving quantities.

Use 3/4 household eating spoon each of peanut butter and water, and 1/4 household eating spoon each of lime juice and soy sauce. Since similar small amounts repeat, measuring each separately first can help prevent confusion. Strain the lime juice if it contains seeds. Since the recipe includes soy sauce, no separate salt is listed among the basic ingredients.

Ingredients for 1 serving of sauce

• Unsweetened peanut butter: 3/4 household eating spoon
• Lime juice: 1/4 household eating spoon
• Water: 3/4 household eating spoon
• Soy sauce: 1/4 household eating spoon

These amounts are based on the ingredient list for 1 serving in the app. Household eating spoons and pinches are everyday measures and have not been converted to exact grams or milliliters. Check the package size and cup capacity shown in parentheses as well.

Instructions

• Step 1. Measure out each ingredient in the amounts listed.
• Step 2. Put the ingredients, except for the water, in a small dipping dish or cup. Add the listed water in two batches, pressing and loosening the mixture with the back of a spoon. Stir 30 times until there are no lumps.
• Step 3. Start by serving half of the finished sauce on the side. Taste a bite, then add more of the remaining amount. If serving it with several sauces, use a little of each.

Press out sticky lumps

Put the ingredients, except for the water, in a small dipping dish and add the water in two batches. Press the peanut butter lumps with the back of a spoon to loosen them, and stir all the way to the bottom. Check that the paste and liquid are evenly combined rather than just shaking the liquid on top. If lumps remain after stirring about 30 times, work on those spots some more.

Serving suggestion for somyeon noodles and vegetables

Try coating separately cooked noodles or prepared vegetables with a small amount first, then taste. This is not a formula guaranteed to season an entire bowl of noodles, so judge the amount along with the quantity of food. Do not use this basic recipe if you have a peanut allergy. Also check whether the product contains other nuts or additives.
