Yield makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon canola or other neutral oil
2 tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger
1 large clove garlic, finely minced
6 tablespoons Tamarind Liquid (page 319)
2/3 cup water
3 to 4 tablespoons sugar
4 to 5 tablespoons fish sauce
2 or 3 Thai or serrano chiles, thinly sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Whisk in the tamarind liquid and water. When the mixture comes to a boil, remove from the heat.
  • Whisk in the sugar and fish sauce, starting out with the smaller amounts. Taste and add additional sugar or fish sauce to create a tart, spicy, sweet, savory sauce. Set aside, uncovered, to cool to room temperature and to let the flavors bloom.
  • Before serving, taste again and adjust the flavor balance a final time. Transfer to a serving bowl or divide the sauce among individual dipping sauce bowls. If all the diners like chile heat, add the chile slices to the bowl(s). If not, serve the chile slices on the side for diners to add as desired.

This tamarind ginger dipping sauce is a game-changer! It's the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy. I used it as a dipping sauce for spring rolls and dumplings, but it would also be great on grilled meats or fish. I'll definitely be making this
