Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp fish sauce, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp sugar, and 2 tbsp water. Stir until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Finely chop 2 red chilies (seeds in for heat, out for milder) and add to the bowl. Stir to combine.

  3. Step 3

    Roughly chop 2 tbsp peanuts and sprinkle over the sauce. Let sit for 5 minutes to meld flavors before serving.
