This sauce can be easily converted into a nice salad dressing.
Bought some amazing ibérico pork neck from the butcher today and thought I would grill it and serve it with a Thai-style dipping sauce. In Thai cuisine, it’s common to serve grilled meat with Jaew, which is a mixture of fresh coriander leaves, fish sauce, lime juice, toasted rice powder, coconut sugar, and chili. Since I didn’t have rice powder on hand, I added some crushed toasted and salted peanuts into the sauce to add that nutty flavor. This sauce can be easily converted into a nice salad dressing as well.
