Build the Peanut Base:
Whisk the hot water into the peanut butter until completely smooth.

This sauce lands creamy first, then lime and Sriracha cut through with a bright little kick. It coats noodles without feeling heavy and makes a spring roll worth another dip.
I don't think I've ever made this sauce without finding three or four different things to dip into it before dinner was ready. It's creamy, a little spicy, just sweet enough, and the lime keeps everything from feeling too rich. I use it for noodles all the time, but it's just as good drizzled over roasted vegetables or served alongside spring rolls. It's one of those sauces that quietly steals the show.

Whisk the hot water into the peanut butter until completely smooth.
Whisk in the coconut milk, seasonings, and remaining ingredients.
Thin with a little additional water if necessary.
Refrigerate before serving.
