1/4 cup peanut butter

2 tablespoons warm water, or to taste

2 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste

2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce, or to taste

Pinch ground ginger

Slivered sauteed vegetables, such as broccoli florets, asparagus, thinly sliced carrots, bell peppers, scallions or red onions (optional)

Recipe

If desired, add the sauteed vegetables and toss again and/or sprinkle with peanuts and, for the adults, scallions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
