THAI CRACK SAUCE 🌶️✨
(by @jess.taye — Shaana-approved version)

This is one of those sauces that makes everything taste better! Bursting with flavour… but also made with ingredients your body actually loves.

Ingredients:
½ bunch mint
½ bunch cilantro
Juice of 2 limes
2 stalks lemongrass
5–10 red bird chilies (depends on your spice levels)
4 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp coconut aminos or tamari (gluten-free version, or add soya sauce if not intolerant)
6 tbsp coconut sugar
¼ large shallot
8-10 cloves garlic

Method: Blend all ingredients until you have reached desired consistency. Taste and adjust depending on your heat + sweetness preference.

Why this is actually good for you:

Coconut aminos → lower sodium, easier on digestion

Ginger + garlic → anti-inflammatory, supports gut health + immunity

Apple cider vinegar (swap option) → helps blood sugar balance + digestion

Chili → boosts metabolism + circulation

Make it your way:

🧄 Stronger detox vibe: add extra garlic + ginger

🥥 Creamy version: whisk in 1 tbsp almond butter or tahini

🌿 Fresh twist: add chopped coriander or basil

🥢 Protein bowl ready: mix with shredded chicken or tofu

How I use it:Over grilled salmon, roasted veggies, chicken bowls… or as a dip when I need something exciting but clean.

Save this — it’s a staple 🤌🔥

Ik heb nooit citroengras gesneden, maar kookte het altijd mee met de rest van de rijst. Hoe kom ik aan de stengels? Is dat het binnenste deel van het citroengras?
