See all
¼ cup fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
3 tbsp warm water
2 tbsp granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same amount and stir until it dissolves. Honey tastes a touch sweeter, so you can also use slightly less.
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1–2 fresh red thai chili peppers, thinly sliced (or ½ tsp red pepper flakes)
1 tsp rice vinegar (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, whisking until the sugar is fully dissolved.
2
Add the fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, and sliced chili (and rice vinegar, if using) to the bowl. Stir well to combine.
