Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Time 10m

Yield Makes 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Pinch of crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • In blender, puree ingredients until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro has a more vibrant flavor than dried cilantro, so use it whenever possible.
  • Choose the right chiles: The type of chile you use will determine the heat level of your sauce. For a milder sauce, use mild chiles like Anaheim or Poblano chiles. For a spicier sauce, use hotter chiles like Serrano or Habanero chiles.
  • Toast the sesame seeds: Toasting the sesame seeds before adding them to the sauce will bring out their flavor.
  • Use a food processor: A food processor is the easiest way to make Asian cilantro sauce. However, you can also make it by hand if you don't have a food processor.
  • Adjust the flavors to your liking: Taste the sauce and adjust the flavors to your liking. You may want to add more lime juice, fish sauce, or sugar.

Conclusion:

Asian cilantro sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for dipping, drizzling, or marinating. The sauce is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin A, and potassium. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and healthy sauce, give Asian cilantro sauce a try.
