Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp lime juice
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 1/2 Tbsp fish sauce
- 1 small garlic clove, finely minced (optional)
- 1 or 2 Thai chilis, thinly sliced or 1 tsp chili garlic sauce (optional)
Instructions
1
Make limeade. Combine the lime juice, sugar and water, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Taste and as yourself this question: Does this limeade taste good? Adjust the flavors to balance out the sweet and sour.
2
Finish with fish sauce. Add the fish sauce and any of the optional ingredients. Taste again and adjust the flavors to your liking, balancing out the sour, sweet, salty and spicy. Aim for a bold, forward finish -- perhaps a little stronger than what you'd normally like.
3
Notes: This sauce is likely to be used to add final flavor to foods wrapped in lettuce or herbs, which are not salted and therefore need a little lift to heighten the overall eating experience. Look for light honey or amber color to gauge when you are close.
