THAILAND
Makes about 1 cup
Tamarind is the sweet-sour pulp of a tropical seed pod, and its mouth-puckering tartness makes a nice counterpoint to the grilled fare of Southeast Asia. Serve this lively sauce with saté, but don’t stop there. Grilled shrimp, chicken, pork, and even hamburgers shine in its presence.
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 shallots or 1 small onion, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced fresh
1 to 2 hot chiles, seeded and minced (for a hotter sauce, leave the seeds in)
3/4 cup Tamarind Water (see recipe under "Ground Meat, Burgers and Sausage")
1/4 cup asain fish sauce, , or more to taste
2 tablespoons sugar, or more to taste
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped fresh
1. Heat the oil in a wok or large, heavy skillet over high heat. Add the garlic, shallots, ginger, and chiles and sauté until fragrant but not brown, about 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
2. Stir in the Tamarind Water, 1/4 cup fish sauce, and 2 tablespoons sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently, uncovered, until thickened and the flavors are well blended, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and taste for seasoning, adding fish sauce or sugar as necessary; the sauce should be highly seasoned. Stir in the cilantro (if using), then transfer the sauce to bowls and let cool to room temperature. Serve immediately.
