 second boil; boil for 1 minute.  Drain in a colander, then rinse thoroughly

  and process to a coarse mixture.  Add sesame and peanut oils, the soy sauce,
  lime juice and chili oil; process for 1 minute, or until smooth. Stir in the
  water; the mixture should have a thin, creamy consistency. Add a little more
