Instructions

  1. Combine 6 tbsp water and 2 tbsp sugar in a bowl.

  2. Add 1.5 tbsp freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice in increments until you like how it tastes. A good guide is it should taste like lemonade/limeade.

  3. Add 2 tbsp fish sauce in small increments until you like how it tastes. It should be a little strong since it will be paired with unseasoned food.

  4. Top with 1/2 clove minced garlic and 1/2 minced bird's eye or Thai chile, then serve.
