Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Brown-sugar replacements vary in moisture, spread, and browning, so follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp fresh cilantro stems, finely chopped
1 small shallot, finely minced

Instructions

1
Add the garlic and bird's eye chiles to a mortar and pound with the pestle until broken down into a coarse, slightly wet paste, about 1–2 minutes.
2
Add the palm sugar and continue pounding until the sugar is mostly dissolved and incorporated into the paste.
