Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Palm sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 piece Bird’s eye chili
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Thinly slice the bird’s eye chili or finely chop it for increased spiciness. Adjust the quantity depending on your spice preference.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the fish sauce, lime juice, and water.
Add the palm sugar to the bowl and stir until fully dissolved. If needed, gently microwave the mixture for 10-15 seconds to help the sugar dissolve faster.
Stir in the minced garlic, chopped chili, and soy sauce.
Taste the dressing and adjust the flavors if needed. Add more lime juice for tanginess, fish sauce for saltiness, or palm sugar for sweetness.
Let the dressing sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Use immediately by tossing with your salad ingredients or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
