SPICY ASIAN NUT SAUCE

I made this sauce the other day to go along with our Vietnamese Salad Rolls.  It was a hit!  I used peanut butter but if you would like to use a more nutrient-rich cholesterol reducing nut I'd suggest almond butter.  

Ingredients: 
1/2 c nut butter
1-3 T sambal oelek
1T maple syrup
1T tamari or Braggs
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1 T finely grated fresh ginger
2-3 T lime or lemon juice
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/3 -1/2 c water 

Directions:
Put all ingredients into a blender and mix well! Add enough water to create a desired consistency. Enjoy with Vietnamese Salad Rolls (in another blog post). Store extra in a glass jar in the fridge.
