Ingredients

1/3 cup natural peanut butter (if your peanut butter is thick, microwave is for about 15 seconds first)

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1/2 teaspoon freshly minced ginger)

1 tablespoon maple syrup

2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds

Directions

Whisk all the ingredients (minus 2 tablespoons of the hot water) together in a bowl, a jar with a lid (shake vigorously) or a small blender or food processor until smooth.
