Mock Peanut Sauce

It's been about a year since our older son was diagnosed with peanut and tree nut allergies - a diagnosis we question, but we are not so ill advised that we would really put it to the test. Yet. And it hasn't been all that challenging; I mean, you can swing a dead cat all you want and you'll never hit a school that allows peanuts anymore. But one thing he really misses is Asian peanut sauce, whether as a dressing for noodles or a dip for chicken satay. So this one's for you, Owen.

4 Tbsp sunflower seed butter (easier to find than you think)
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp mirin
2 Tbsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp sriracha (or less)
1 Tbsp minced cilantro
1 tsp microplaned ginger

- puree thoroughly in a blender
