Thai Garlic Sauce Recipe 45

THAI GARLIC SAUCE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients, except garlic and cornstarch in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. When sauce begins to bubble, reduce heat to medium-low. Now add the minced garlic and cornstarch (dissolved in water). Stir until the sauce thickens slightly, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Do a taste test. You're looking for a balance of salty (fish sauce), spicy (garlic and chili), sour (lime), and sweet (sugar). Adjust these flavors to suit your taste. Add a little veggie oil to wok, add carrots, add some of the wine. Add all veggies and 1/3 of sauce. Add remaining sauce and tofu.

KAI YANG (THAI GARLIC CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into serving pieces as follows: Separate main wing bones from the second wing bones; cut the breast halves from the carcass and cut them, with the skin, into two-inch cubes; cut each thigh in half across the bone to make four pieces; remove the legs, chop off and discard the leg end bones.
• Combine the coriander, lemon juice, peppercorns and garlic in a mixing bowl. Add the chicken pieces and blend well with the spice mixture. Let stand at least one hour at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat a charcoal grill for barbecuing. Add the chicken pieces and cook, turning often, until done. The boneless pieces will cook in about 10 minutes or less. The pieces with bone in will cook in about 20 minutes or longer.
