1. 1Step 1: In a small saucepan or pot, combine the peanut butter with the hoisin sauce. As both are soft, they should combine very easily. A whisk may work best to mix it together.
2. 2Step 2: Once the peanut butter and the hoisin sauce has fully combined, turn the heat on medium and cook the mixture until it starts to bubble slightly.
3. 3Step 3: When the mixture starts to heat up, add water in small amounts. The amount you add will vary on how thick or thin you want your sauce. I personally like a thinner sauce so I will eyeball the water and pour enough to thin out the sauce. Usually for this amount it will be around 1/4 cups and if I want it thinner I will add a touch more. Keep in mind that the sauce will also thicken once it cools down.
4. 4Step 4: Once you reach your desired consistency and everything is well combined, turn off the heat and taste your sauce. Add in the lime juice & sesame oil until well combined.
5. 5Step 5: Chill sauce or serve immediately. Optional: garnish it with roasted crushed peanuts or even combine with sambal olek.
