A run down
Short on time well this simple Thai style sauce i make is as easy and as quick as it can be. We use it a Thai stir fry sauce but even a great base sauce for for many a oriental dish’s. And it really is so simple.
We use a hand blender which has a chopping bowl attachment on it (seen in pictures) but any normal household blender or food processor will be fine.
I always try to make the night before and leave it in the fridge allowing the aromatic flavours of some of these ingredients to infuse Overnight. Its ok to hold for 4 -5 days and we often would do 2 different dishes throughout the week with it.
Tips
Top Tip 1: Play around with the spice i use birds eye chilis which are hot and fragrant ( I love the spice) but a long red mild chili maybe be better to start with, if you not to familiar with spice.
Top Tip 2 : The recipe calls for the juice of 1 lime when extracting juice cut lime in half and gentle heat in a bowl in a microwave for 30 seconds. The heat will release the natural juices even more making it easier to extract
So here it is our simple Thai style sauce
The Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 Red Chili (your choice spice)
- Ginger
- Coriander
- Dried Lemongrass
- Dried Lime Leaves

This sounds so delicious! I love Thai food so I’ll definitely have to try making this sauce for myself! Thanks for sharing!
I usually avoid Thai sauces/food as it often contains anchovy paste and I’m allergic to fish and shellfish but your recipe sounds ideal. I love Thai food in theory as it’s exactly the kind of food I love but I always just aired on the side of caution because of my allergy. Thanks for this, it’s fab!
