This peanut-free adaptation of a Thai-style sauce goes perfectly with stir-fry, rice noodles, rice, tofu, chicken, or grilled vegetables. Tamari is a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce; use if allergies are a concern.

4 tablespoons lime juice (about 2 limes)
1½ tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
3 fresh garlic cloves, finely chopped
½ teaspoon Asian-style hot sauce (optional)

Wash hands with soap and warm water. Wash produce well and chop as directed.
2
In a blender, combine ½ cup water and sunflower seed butter; blend until smooth.
3
Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth, adding more water if necessary.
4
Serve warm or at room temperature. Excellent over brown rice with chicken or tofu and vegetables. (Keeps in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.)
