Prep Time 5

Ingredients

100 g almond butter
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar see notes
1 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp chili garlic sauce see notes
1 tsp honey
Water for thinning

Instructions

Place almond butter into a medium bowl and soften in a bit using a fork.
Whisk in the vinegar so that the mixture thins a bit.
Add the soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, honey and sesame oil and whisk until smooth.
Pour in a few table spoons of water to thin the sauce to the desired consistency. For a dip, it can stay thicker. If you are planning to drizzle it over vegetable dishes, make it a bit more runny.
Taste and adjust for sweetness, spiciness, tang or umami.

Notes

You can sub apple cider vinegar with white rice vinegar- it's also quite subtle, albeit without the fruity undertones.
Instead of chili garlic sauce you can use any other hot sauce, like Tabasco or Sriracha.
Almond butter sauce will comfortably sit in the fridge for up to a week.
