Sumo Peanut Dipping Sauce

Mince the garlic clove finely using a knife or garlic press.

Combine peanut butter, minced garlic, fresh lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, and cayenne in a small saucepan.

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly to combine ingredients and prevent sticking.

Gradually add water while stirring to reach a smooth, pourable consistency; adjust thickness to preference by adding more water if needed.

Taste and adjust seasonings—add more cayenne for heat, lime juice for brightness, or soy sauce for depth as desired.

Transfer to a serving bowl and cool slightly before serving alongside spring rolls, satay, or other appetizers.
