To prepare the sauce: In a bowl, combine the peanut butter, gluten-free soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, and minced garlic. Stir well until smooth. Add a little water if the sauce is too thick to reach the desired consistency.

Note

To add a touch of sweetness, incorporate a few slices of fresh mango.

If you would like a peanut-free version, replace the peanut butter with sesame butter (tahini) and the peanuts with toasted sesame seeds.
