Make the sauce
In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, chili garlic sauce or sambal, soy sauce or tamari, brown sugar, hot water, lime juice, rice vinegar and fish sauce. Stir to combine and break up any lumps. Drizzle in additional hot water until the sauce has the consistency of yogurt. How much water you add depends on the type of peanut butter you use and how thick you’d like your peanut sauce to be. The sauce may thicken as it sits, but you can add more hot water and whisk again until you achieve your desired consistency. Set aside.
