Notes
Sriracha can be substituted for chili garlic sauce if preferred
Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili sauce to taste
Serve immediately for the best texture as the sauce can thicken as it cools
Natural peanut butter works well but may require extra stirring to combine smoothly
For extra protein, add a soft-boiled egg or cooked chicken
Double the recipe easily by using proportional amounts for multiple servings
The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
