Cucumber Dipping Sauce (Nam Chim Taeng Kwa)

Serves: 2-4
Prep: 5 mins

Some Thai dishes need a dipping sauce, such as grilled or barbecued meats, fried spring rolls, dumplings, and fish cakes.

Cucumbers are crunchy and fresh and go great with a little sweetness, sourness, and spice.

Whip this up in a couple of minutes. It will keep in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks.
