Steps

  1. Stir the fish sauce, sugar and water together until the sugar dissolves.

  2. Add the lime juice a little at a time, tasting as you go, until it's as sour as you like. One lime is usually right, but limes vary.

  3. Stir in the garlic and chiles, taste again, and add more lime if needed.

Storage

Keeps for about 2 weeks in an airtight jar in the fridge. It keeps longer if you leave out the garlic and chiles and add them just before serving.

Notes

  • Fish sauce, sugar and water are always equal parts, so it's easy to make any amount.
