Makes 180 ml (6 fl oz/¾ cup)
- 1-2 hot red chillies
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon mild vinegar
- 3 tablespoons water
Remove the stems and seeds of chillies and chop the chillies very finely. I advise wearing disposable gloves for this task. Smash the cloves of garlic against a wooden board with the flat of a knife and lift off the skins. Sprinkle with sugar and work into a fine pure with the knife blade. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Some versions add a little finely shredded carrot.
