Really Spicy Red Chilli Sauce

I just got to Koh Tao, Thailand, and have found that in a few of the food stalls on the road they gave me the same recipe for the chilli sauce they served with all the BBQ meats, fish or seafood I had.

You can also serve it with grilled veggies. I am sure it will be delicious.

It is very easy to make and you can adjust the quantities to your liking.

Play with the ingredients but do not be mean with any of them.

I have tried a few and they vary on acidity and spicy.ness, but they all blow your mind!!!

Gorge yourself...

It helps if you can eat this watching a sunset like I did...

You will need:

1/2 cup dried chilli flakes and chilli powder

1 teaspoon glutinous rice powder

1/4 cup lime juice

4 tablespoons nam pla {fish sauce or soy sauce if you are a veggie}

1 teaspoon sugar

4- 6 tablespoons water

Mix them all and adjust ingredients according to taste. It gets better after a couple of hours. It last for several days on a tight container. 

                                                         

    Chok dee...

{Good luck in Thai}

Koh Kood Prawns and Scallops in Green Chilli Dip

Koh Kood, Thailand...

I just thought I would post the picture of where I had this BBQ dish!
I chose to have prawns and scallops which are very easy to find here and are not exactly expensive.
They are Fresh and Delicious.
I always prefer Seafood to any other protein as it has a high Iodine content and it is slimming and healthy all in one bite!

Basically, BBQ anything you want and serve it with this lovely dip.

You will need:

Green chillies {chopped or minced} to your liking
1/3 clove garlic {chopped or minced}
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon palm sugar {or sweetener if you use them}
1/2 teaspoon of coriander stalks {chopped in minuscule bits}

Mix it all and let it sit for one hour before serving with anything.
If you have a pestle and mortar, give the ingredients a bash or two to help them release the flavours and then add the liquids.
It keeps really well on the fridge.

I am totally addicted...
