Ingredients

1 tablespoon garlic, minced 

5 fresh bird chiles or 2 red serrano chiles, minced

Preparation

Using a mortar and pestle, grind the garlic and chiles into a paste. Add the sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice. Mix well to combine, and taste. If sauce is too pungent, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water.
