Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Minced fresh ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar

Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Whisk until well blended.
Add the minced garlic, ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, and brown sugar. Continue whisking to ensure the sugar dissolves and the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference. Add more lime juice for tartness, honey for sweetness, or fish sauce for a more savory depth.
If using cilantro, stir it in at the end for a fresh and aromatic twist.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle with a lid and shake well before serving.
Drizzle over your favorite salad, noodle dishes, or use as a dip for fresh veggies. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.
