Procedure for coconut and lime dressing **

  1. Put all the ingredients except the lime juice into a small sauce pan. Boil at first then simmer for 15~20 minutes. Stir often to prevent the ingredients burning at the bottom of the pan.
  2. Add lime juice and bring it to boil again. Use a sift to pass the dressing and leave the dressing to cool down.
