Piquant Thai Dipping Sauce
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 3 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Chinese chili sauce
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 teaspoon fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lime peel, grated or minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, chili sauce, garlic, mint and lime peel. Bring to a low boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Return sauce to a low boil and stir in enough of the cornstarch mixture to lightly thicken sauce. Strain sauce through a sieve placed over a small serving bowl. Let sauce cool at least 10 minutes; sauce is best at room temperature.
