Sweet Chilli Sauce
Instructions
  1. Thai Dipping Sauce: Blend everything together except chopped Spring Onion / Scallion - add them last. Set aside.
  2. Peanut Dipping Sauce: Blend everything together. Set aside.
  3. Ginger & Coriander Sauce: Blend everything together. Set aside.
  4. Thai Crystal Sauce: Blend everything together except the Chilli Flakes - add them last. Set aside.
  5. Sweet Chilli Sauce: Blend everything together except the Chilli Flakes - add them last. Set aside.
Recipe Notes

* I make big batches of the sauces. They keep well for weeks in a sealed jar in the fridge. Basically you can use any veggies, and easily and quickly whip up rice paper rolls and serve with either or  both of the dipping sauces.

*Soy Sauce alternatives - soy is best avoided for many reasons. Most soy is GMO. Even organic soy can cause issues. Also, many soy products have wheat/gluten which adds to the list of reasons to avoid it if you can. 1st best choice is Coconut Aminos if you can get it. 2nd best choice would be Liquid Aminos or Tamari which are wheat-free/gluten-free soy sauces.

*Sesame Seed Oil - buy good quality oil and store in the fridge. It is a fragile oil and can rancid quite quickly. For this reason it is best never to cook with fragile oils like Sesame Seed Oil as the heat quickly produces free-radicals and reduces the benefits of the oil. Use it as a topping just before serving to give a lovely subtle Sesame flavour to your stir-fry.

Sweet Red Capsicum & Chilli Dip

 

I really do love this dip. It can be enjoyed as a dip, or put on just about anything to spice up and freshen up lots of different types of meals. It’s delicious on sandwiches and in wraps and is great as a topping on a burger. You can add more chilli if you enjoy really spicy dips, or thin it out with a little nut milk to make a tasty salad dressing. The possibilities are endless.

This recipe is: Gluten-free (GF), Wheat-free (WF), Dairy-free (DF), refined Sugar-free (SF), Plant-based/Vegan (PB), Vegetarian (V)
