Method
 

  1. Gather all of your fresh ingredients together on the kitchen counter.

  3. Pour the low sodium soy sauce and rice vinegar directly over the nuts.
  4. Add the rich sesame oil and sweet honey into the exact same bowl.
  5. Toss your grated fresh ginger and minced garlic cloves into the mixture.
  6. Sprinkle the spicy red chili flakes over everything if you prefer extra heat.
  7. Whisk everything together vigorously until you achieve a beautifully emulsified texture.
  8. Pour in the warm water slowly to thin the sauce if it feels too thick.
  9. Transfer your finished sauce into the airtight glass mason jar for proper storage.
  10. Serve the sauce immediately over warm noodles or store it inside your cold refrigerator.

Notes

You can easily substitute peanut butter or almond butter if you desire a creamier texture.
This homemade sauce lasts up to seven days inside a properly sealed container.
Always shake the glass jar vigorously before serving any leftover refrigerated sauce.
