4 bird's eye chili peppers
5 garlic cloves
one cilantro plant, from leaves to root
3/4 t icing sugar
3 limes' worth of juice
1 t fish sauce
Chop into small pieces the chili peppers, garlic cloves, and cilantro,
and put into a small mortar (I use one with a 12 cm diameter).
Pound the ingredients in the mortar until they are thoroughly bruised
and they are about half liquid.
Add the sugar, lime juice and fish sauce. Stir and serve over
any type of seafood (we typically have grilled salmon or
shrimp).
