Categories     Sauce     Ginger     Side     Tamarind     Boil

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.

I'm not usually a fan of tamarind, but this sauce is delicious! The ginger really mellows out the tamarind flavor and makes it much more palatable. I used it as a dipping sauce for chicken satay and it was perfect.

I followed the recipe exactly and found the sauce to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I added a little bit of lime juice to balance it out, and it was perfect. I would definitely make this sauce again, but with a little less sugar.
