- Cuisine: Thai
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 dried bird chile
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (2 or 3 juicy limes)
- 3 tablespoons palm sugar
- 2 dried chili pequin, crushed
- 1 tablespoon finely sliced green onions
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped cilantro stems and/or leaves
- 1 teaspoon toasted rice powder
Instructions
Mix all ingredients; let sit for several minutes before serving.
Toasted Rice:
In a dry skillet, stirring often, toast a little rice until golden brown over medium-low. Take your time moving it off heat and shaking if it gets too hot, then returning to heat. Cool. Pulverize (but not quite to a powder) in a mortar and pestle, spice grinder or food processor. Alternatively, add to a Ziploc and crush. Any excess keeps in a tightly sealed jar for weeks.
