Directions
Start by taking a saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Add the can of coconut milk and bring it to a simmer.
Now, add minced garlic and freshly grated ginger into the simmering coconut milk. Stir well and let them cook for a minute.
Add the peanut butter to the saucepan and stir until it's well combined with the coconut milk.
After the peanut butter has fully dissolved, add brown sugar, soy sauce, and sriracha sauce to the mixture. Stir continuously to help distribute the flavors evenly.
Now, reduce the heat to low and keep stirring your sauce until it gets thick. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Finally, remove from heat and stir in the lime juice. Season with salt to taste.
