This is the classic Thai condiment you always find on a Thai table, whether its a restaurant or home. It is spooned onto everything from fried rice to noodle soups. Tightly sealed, this will keep up to 2 weeks. There are many versions of this sauce, this is the one that my family likes. Feel free to adjust the sour (lime juice), salty (fish sauce), sweet (sugar) or spicy to your liking.

5 tablespoons thai fish sauce
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
6 sliced birds eye chiles
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until thoroughly blended.
2. Store in airtight container up to two weeks.
3. Serve with Thai Fried rice, grilled meats and satays, noodle soups or even with plain Jasmine rice.
