This is a Thai dipping sauce for Chicken or Pork Satay. The recipe comes from "ThaiTable.com." I share it with all who are looking to replicate the great flavors associated with authentic Thai cooking. I have made a few minor adjustments. If you are lucky enough to have an Asian Grocery, you will find these ingredients to be very inexpensive and usually on hand. If all else fails, you can find these ingredients online.
