You will need

250 mls of water (1 cup)
60 mls fish sauce
4 tablespoons of caster sugar
1 large-ish fresh lime
3 cloves of garlic
4 large red Thai finger chillis
2 cm of ginger

To make

Put a pot on a medium heat and add the water and sugar. Bring to a boil for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves and the mix reduces slightly. If it starts to colour take off the heat.

Juice your lime and measure out your fish sauce

Finely chop your chillies and garlic and grate your little bit of ginger.

Wallop it all in the pot and bring to a boil again.

After two minutes of a rolling boil take off the heat and let cool down.

Now decant into jars or whatevers handy and start dipping!! This will keep in the fridge for several weeks.
