Sweet and Sour Tamarind Sauce

This is my version of a popular sauce that can be tweaked in a lot of ways to suit one’s taste, either more to the sweet side or sour side. It’s great with small fried items, like fried tofu, egg rolls, or samosas.

Step: 1

Heat water in a saucepan over low heat. Dissolve sugar and tamarind powder in warm water; add soy sauce, peanuts, and red onions. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until onions become slightly translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step: 2

Stir cilantro into the sauce; continue cooking until thickened to your liking, 5 to 7 minutes more.
