Instructions

Soy Sauce Version

  1. Mash together garlic, chili, and 2 tbsp sugar with a mortar and pestle.
  2. Transfer the sugar garlic paste with the remaining sugar into a large jar and add the boiled water. Stir to dissolve sugar.
  3. Add the soy sauce and lime juice and mix.
  4. Adjust if you like it saltier (more soy sauce), spicier (more chili paste), etc.
  5. Store in the fridge and enjoy!

Vegan Fish Sauce Version

  1. Mash together garlic, chili, and 2 tbsp sugar with a mortar and pestle.
  2. Transfer the sugar garlic paste with the remaining sugar into a large jar and add the boiled water. Stir to dissolve sugar.
  3. Add the vegan fish sauce and lime juice and mix. The vegan fish sauce may differ in saltiness, depending on what brand you have. Start with 1 1/4 cups water, and adjust as needed. I ended up adding another 1/4 cup water to be about 1 1/2 cups water total. Adjust to your taste!
  4. Store in the fridge and enjoy on many Vietnamese dishes!

Notes

  • If you really like garlic, use 5 cloves, if you don't love it, just use 2.
