No Sugar Nam Jim Jaew Sauce
  1. Start with uncooked rice. On medium-low heat on the stovetop, toast the uncooked rice in a dry pan until the rice is golden brown. Be careful with the heat level for this step, as the rice tends to cook fast after it browns. Let the rice cool to room temperature. Use a spice grinder to grind the rice into a coarse powder. Set aside for a minute—more detailed instructions on how to make Toasted rice powder.

  2. Finely chop all the fresh herbs and place them in a small bowl.

  3. Warm the honey in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until it turns runny. Let cool, then pour the honey into the bowl with fresh herbs. Stir well.

  4. Add fish sauce, lime juice, water, tamarind puree, and chili flakes.

  5. Stir everything, taste, and adjust the flavor with lime juice, fish sauce, or water.

  6. Lastly, add the star ingredient and the toasted rice powder, and mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Add 1-2 Tbsp of water if the sauce is too thick.

  7. Place the sauce in a serving cup, and that's it. So quick and easy and so delicious! Enjoy!
