How to Make Laotian Salad Dressing
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture turns into a light syrup (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and carefully whisk in 1/4 cup fish sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro and 1-2 Thai chili peppers (finely minced, or to taste).
- Allow the dressing to cool completely to room temperature before serving. The flavors will meld beautifully and deepen as it cools.
