Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a small bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them soak for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel the garlic clove and grate the fresh ginger.
Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a blender or food processor.
Pour in 1/2 cup water and add tamarind paste, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, red chili flakes, and salt.
