Instructions
- Chop the cilantro and shallot finely.
- Mix fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and water in a ratio of 2:2:1/2:1 (adjust to your flavor at the end).
- Incorporate toasted rice powder, chili flakes, shallot and cilantro. Mix well.
- Enjoy Nam Jim Jaew with BBQ or roasted meat.
Notes
- You can replace lime juice with lemon juice or calamansi juice.
- The original recipe uses palm sugar for its caramel flavor. Brown or black sugar is an excellent alternative. If you have solid palm sugar, finely chop and dissolve it in hot water before adding fish sauce and lime juice.
- Granulated sugar is a good choice, or you can use honey or maple syrup (replace 2 tablespoons of sugar with 1.5 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup) for a sugar-free option.
- You can make Khao khua at home, but for convenience, I used store-bought "bột thính" (Vietnamese name for roasted rice powder).
- You can replace lime juice with lemon juice or calamansi juice.
