Notes
If the fish sauce you are using is too salty for your taste, add some water and/or sugar to bring it down to your preferred salt level.
Thai chillies of any color may be used.
To reduce the heat of the sauce, use fewer number of chillies or substitute with a milder variety of chilli pepper.
Substitutes for lime juice: Lemon juice or rice vinegar or distilled white vinegar.
