Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Place over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer.

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly add this mixture to the saucepan while stirring continuously to avoid any lumps.

Add the chili flakes for a hint of spice, adjusting the quantity to taste if necessary.
Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
