How to Make Hot And Sour Sauce
- Pound 10-12 Thai red chilies and 4 cloves garlic together in a mortar and pestle until a smooth paste forms. (Adjust chili quantity to your spice preference)
- Transfer the chili-garlic paste to a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Stir well to combine.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings. Add more fish sauce for saltiness, lime juice for sourness, or sugar for sweetness, until you achieve the perfect balance of hot, sour, and sweet.
- Let the sauce rest for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes) to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. The longer it rests, the more delicious it becomes!
