Ingredients
- 10 to 12 red Thai bird chilies, finely minced

- 1/4 cup Asian fish sauce
- 1/2 cup palm or light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Directions
- Add everything to a small container with a tight-fitting lid. Close it up, shake it thoroughly, then put it aside so the sugar can melt into the sauce, shaking again every 10 minutes or so.
- Once the sugar has completely dissolved, move the sauce to the refrigerator until you need it. It will keep refrigerated for up to 3 weeks.
