Notes
- Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
- After mixing, let rest 5 minutes, so that the flavors from the different ingredients blend together.
- This is a very versatile dipping sauce that can be combined with many sorts of food. It doesn't even have to be Thai food per se. In Isan, we mostly eat it with all types of grilled meat and sticky rice.
