Ingredients

6 servings

¼ cup fish sauce
Hokan Fish Sauce
MW Polar Fish Sauce
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 volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1–2 fresh red thai chili peppers, thinly sliced (or ½ tsp red pepper flakes)
Ingredient note
The Mold Detox diet limits chili peppers because they can pick up mold once they are dried and stored, but the peppers on this line are used fresh, not dried, so they are likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh chili peppers, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp rice vinegar (optional)
