Ingredients
- ½ US cup high-quality fish sauce (120ml) (adjust to taste)
- ½ US cup sugar (120ml) (adjust to taste)
- 1½ US cup water (240ml) (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp Vinegar (5%) / Lime juice (adjust to taste)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 Thai chili
Instructions
- Mince the garlic and chili.
- In a small saucepan, combine the fish sauce, sugar, and water.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Skim off all the scums from the surface of the sauce.
- Add vinegar. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Transfer the sauce to a clean jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. It could be stored up to 2 months.
- Add minced garlic and minced chili each time you use the sauce.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust to your taste—try a 1:1:2, 1:1:3, 1:1:4, or even a 1:1:5 ratio if your fish sauce is saltier or milder than mine.
