Cool, refreshing, hot, tangy, sweet and sour............those are all the flavours and tastes we got from this SUPREMELY easy and yet stunning dipping sauce!!! I used half a cucumber & half the ingredients listed, as I knew we would not eat a large batch - only the two of us at home at present; we used this dip with some delicious Nems from a local Vietnamese take away restaurant. This was such a pretty dip as well as being easy......I intend to make a full batch when I next cook a FULL ON Oriental meal!!! Made for Leggy Peggy's Tag game in the Aussie/NZ forum and VERY much enjoyed - thanks!! FT:-)
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a busy mum to 5 plus a precious grandson. I've always had a passion of serving healthy nutritious and most importantly tasty food to my family and friends. Being an Aussie I have a insatiable appetite for bbq'ing . My cookery books fill three shelves of a large bookcase and I use the internet constantly looking for new recipes and ideas.
My passion for food and cooking has been passed down to my children with 2 now being qualified chefs and another 2 working part time in the food industry whilst studying. My grandson has enjoyed the benefits of a 'foodie family' and has only ever eaten food freshly prepared by us and usually grown by a member of the family as well.
