Instructions
- Toast the raw rice in a small, dry skillet over medium heat. Stir continuously for about 4-5 minutes until the grains turn a rich, medium brown, but keep moving so as not to let it burn.
- Grind the toasted rice into a fine powder using either a mortar and pestle, spice grinder or a coffee grinder.
- Place the toasted rice powder into a small bowl with thinly sliced shallots, scallion, vegan fish sauce, lime juice, tamarind concentrate, Thai chili flakes, minced cilantro leaves, and palm sugar (or coconut sugar, or brown sugar).
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly using the tines of a fork until the sugar dissolves, ensuring a well-balanced blend of flavors.
- Use immediately or store for up to one week in a clean, sealed container under refrigeration.
