Peel and finely mince the ginger.

Chop a medium clove of garlic.

Place the nuts, ginger, garlic, cilantro leaves into a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Chop, pulsing, until fine.

Add soy sauce, lime juice, and vegetable oil (light olive oil).

Blend, until fairly fine and starting to get creamy. Continue to blend while adding the water a little at a time through the chute, up to 1/2 cup.

MAKES 3/4 cup.
