Preparation

Step 1

With the motor of the food processor running, pop the garlic and then the ginger through the feed tube and continue to process until they are finely chopped. Remove the lid, scrape down the work bowl, and add 1/3 cup of water, the peanut butter, miso, and shoyu. Blend until smooth.

Add the lime juice and a dash of chili oil (if using), and pulse a few times to distribute. Thin with additional water, if you wish. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Shake well before each use and thin with extra lime juice or water if the mixture thickens on standing.

This recipe yields 1 1/4 cups.
