Calories: 51kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp fish sauce (or to taste)
- 3 tbsp sugar (or to taste)
- chili (sliced; to preference)
Instructions
- In a serving dish, use a spoon to stir together the sugar, fish sauce and chopped chili. Stir until the sugar is blended in.Note: Without heat, you'll find that the sugar will stay undissolved in the mix. This is normal and can be stirred through with each fruit piece as you eat and dip.
- Serve immediately as is with your favorite fruits!
Notes
- Use granulated sugar. The small crystals add wonderful texture and will dissolve faster than larger types.
- Opt for good quality fish sauce. Since this recipe only uses 3 ingredients, you want to maximize the taste by using fresh and potent ingredients. Popular brands include Squid Brand, Megachef, Three Crabs, Red Boat and Son.
- Use fresh chili. This will complement the saltiness with a sweet and floral fragrance.
- We use store-bought fish sauce that comes in bottles. Choose your favorite brand or make it vegetarian with vegan options.
- This recipe also uses Thai bird's eye chilis but you can use whichever fresh ones you have available.
