How to Make Thai Red Pepper Dipping Sauce Hot

  1. Crush 2-3 Thai red chilies (adjust to your spice preference) and 2 cloves of garlic in a mortar and pestle until a coarse paste forms.
  2. Transfer the chili-garlic paste to a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground white pepper.
  3. Whisk everything together until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is well combined.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro and 2-3 small lime wedges (for extra tartness and visual appeal).
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more chilies for extra heat, lime juice for tartness, or brown sugar for sweetness.
  6. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
