Step 1

First, gather your mise en place. (mi ˑ zɑ̃ ˑ plas)

Step 2

Place your raw almonds into a food processor and finely chop.

Step 3

Add the rest of your ingredients to the food processor except the water. Blend well, scrape the sides, and blend again. The ingredients should form a thick paste.

Step 4

Transfer this paste to a small bowl. Slowly begin to add the hot water and mix. Start with ¼ cup and go from there. Continue adding the water until you have reached your desired thickness. The consistency you choose will depend on what you are using the almond sauce with. Note, this sauce will thicken up as it sits, you may need to add additional water before serving.

Step 5

Serve alongside spring rolls, use as a dressing or as a dip. Enjoy!
