  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
  • 1 Thai chili finely minced, or ½ teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 clove Garlic minced

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce (or soy), honey, rice vinegar, minced chili, and garlic.

Notes

Storage: Keep this in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 1 week. The garlic and chili mellow a little as it sits, so taste before serving and add a squeeze of fresh lime if it needs brightening back up.
