Variations
Combine spices to your taste.
Chef's notes
Make your the sauce two to three days in advance and refrigerate. This will improve the flavour and gives more of a restaurant aroma.
Peeling ginger
There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
