Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fish sauce

  • 1 red chili seeded and minced

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  • Combine ingredients. Stir.

Notes

I like finger hot chilies for this recipe. Not crazy spicy but lots of flavour. If you can't get them then you could substitute a jalapeño.
