Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp fish sauce
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, fish sauce, lime juice, chili garlic sauce, granulated sugar, and water thoroughly until the sugar dissolves.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust according to your preference. Add more lime juice if you want it more sour, more sugar if you want it sweeter, or more water if the fish sauce flavor is too strong.
Notes
- Adjust the sauce flavor by balancing lime juice and sugar to suit your taste.
- Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month.
- You can omit chili garlic sauce for a non-spicy version.
- Substitute Thai red chilis for chili garlic sauce for spicier heat, but add cautiously.
- Alternative acids include white vinegar (use 1 tbsp per 2 tbsp lime juice) or lemon juice for a different but delicious flavor.
