Troubleshooting:
- This sauce will absolutely thicken up when heated. So if you are adding to any cooked items, be sure to factor that in!
- If you want this sauce even thicker when cooked, add 1 teaspoon corn starch to the blend.
- If your sauce if too watery, add another 1-3 tablespoon peanut butter and another teaspoon of tamari.
- If you want your sauce much sweeter, reduce water to 3-4 tablespoon and sub 2 more tablespoon maple syrup. This is for a sweet peanut sauce!
- If your sauce is too thick, add another splash of water.
