1. Heat a small saucepan. Combine water, soy sauce, peanut and sugar.
2. Bring it to a boil and simmer for about 4 minutes and stir constantly until sauce becomes slightly thick. Turn off heat. Sauce will thicken as it cools down.
3. If it becomes too thick, just add a teaspoon of water to dilute to desired consistency.
