Thai Peanut Sauce

crunchy peanut butter - start w/ 1/3C and adjust up from there
coconut powder (equal to the peanut butter, go up from there)
soy sauce (a couple teaspoons)
sugar (maybe a teaspoon?)
dark sesame oil (start w/ 1/2 tsp or so - powerful stuff)
chili oil (start w/ 1/2 tsp or so - powerful stuff)
ground cayenne pepper (1/8 tsp to start)
ground cumin (a bit - 1/8 tsp)
powdered ginger (a lot - 1/2 tsp?)
lime zest (half the lime)
lime juice or seasoned rice vinegar (a teaspoon or two)
water to thin

Over light heat (or else it will break):

mix all, taste, balance the salt/sweet/acid/hot, and thin with water to desired consistency.  fish sauce would be a good addition, though watch the salt and reduce the soy accordingly

Add more soy sauce to increase saltiness

Add more water to thin

Add more coconut powder if it's too peanuty
