Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, add all sauce ingredients except arrowroot powder (or cornstarch). Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.
  2. Taste test for sweetness and saltiness, adding more honey if not sweet enough, or more fish sauce (instead of salt) as desired. If you prefer a spicy sauce, add some fresh chilli or chilli sauce.
  3. Add the arrowroot or cornstarch powder dissolved in the water. Stir and continue to simmer until sauce thickens. (If it becomes too thick to your liking, add more lime juice and water.).

Garnish with lime slices or wedges, and fresh sprigs of coriander. Serve with plenty of Thai jasmine-scented rice (or potatoes if you prefer), and enjoy!
