Makes about 1½ cups.

Process the chilis and garlic in a food processor until nearly smooth. With the machine running add the ginger juice and vinegar, then add the oil in a thin stream and process until emulsified. If using the sauce at once, add the cilantro and process until smooth.

If working in advance, leave out the cilantro; mince and add it just before serving. Taste and season with salt if needed.

When serving, garnish the sauce bowls with thin rings of fresh red chilis for color and heat, if desired.

Store, refrigerated, in a clean container. The sauce will lose its bright color, but will be tasty for 1 to 2 days.

Serve with: springrolls, fried won-ton, grilled or wok seared fish and poultry, cured beef, lamb and pork or cold poached chicken breast.
