Thai Chili Lime Dipping Sauce
Do you need the perfect dipping sauce for Asian fried foods? After visiting Thailand, I fell in love with the sauce they serve with fried foods (especially fried seafood). The citrusy yet spicy Thai Chili Lime Dipping Sauce really gets my appetite going. It’s not the typical sweet chili sauce you get in Americanized Thai restaurants. This Thai chili lime dipping sauce recipe has the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and salty tastes.
I made this sauce to go with my Thai crab cakes, but it goes extremely well with fried fish too. Now that my Thai dipping sauce is ready, I can imagine I’m back in one of those private pool villas near Thai beaches.
