Spicy and sweet, easy to make,

Let get started!

How colourful is this?

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Grind the chillies, ginger, lime zest and juice, garlic and coriander in a pestle and mortar make a fragrant paste.
2. Put the sugar into a pan with 3 tbsp water and place over a medium heat, until the sugar dissolves.
3. Increase the heat and boil until the syrup thickens.
4. Carefully, stir in the paste, fish sauce and rice vinegar, turn the heat down and simmer for 2 minutes.
5. Leave to cool, then pour into a sterilized jar.

I love this zingy sauce and I must admit,

it’s so worth making your own.
