Sweet Soy Dipping Sauce (vegan)

This sauce is great with deep fried tofu or raw veg crudites.

¼ Cup hot water.
1 Tablespoon soy sauce. I prefer La choy.
1 ½ to 2 Tablespoons sugar (or to your taste).
½ Teaspoon Sambal Olekek grounded chili paste. (Option)
1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice.
¼ Cup roasted unsalted peanut. Crushed.

Mix hot water, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar and hot pepper together. Mix well. Top with peanut before serving.
