I love this thin dipping sauce! Once put together it sits in a glass jar in the back of the fridge & I refresh it as it gets used. Sweet, tangy with bits of lime pulp & mild rice vinegar, hot from the miinced bird chiles & salty omani from the the fish sauce - all at once! great to dip fried tofu, fresh or crispy spring rolls, steamed little goodies... truly multi-purpose workhorse. Received this version in email & decided to post as it is so close to mine - which I never bother to measure out LOL! I use a mortar & pestle to grind garlic & sugar together & then blend in the rest of the ingredients, adjusting quantities to taste. Thanks, ifourc!
