This homemade recipe will work great as a dipping sauce for grilled chicken or beef skewers, spring rolls, or cucumber sticks, or even as a thick dressing to your Thai-inspired salads. Soy sauce, lime, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes come together to bring your favorite Thai flavors to any dish. You can even add some fresh chopped mint or cilantro to up the ante, if desired. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water as necessary to thin it out to your desired consistency.
