Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp fish sauce
- 5-10 bird's eye chillies, finely sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
- 1 Tbsp lime juice (optional)
- small handful coriander, chopped roughly
FRESH CHILLI SAUCE
Method
- To make the sauce, combine the fish sauce, chillies and garlic in a bowl and set aside
- It keeps for some time – in fact it becomes richer and milder as it settles for a day
- Make sure it is covered if you are making it in advance – and if the fish sauce evaporates, add an equivalent amount of water to refresh it
- Just before serving, stir through the lime juice and coriander
Comments
This is a great fresh chilli sauce which works with so much. It is hot but addictive – be careful!
