Notes
- You can easily adjust the ratios of all of the ingredients to make this dish your very own. I personally enjoy more bold fish sauce for umami and more spicy chilies, but you can easily add more water, more garlic, less lime juice, whatever you'd like. It is best to taste, adjust, and experiment.
