A favorite at Thailand’s seafood stalls, nam jim talay starts with a balanced sweet-and-sour base of fish sauce, lemon juice, and sugar. Garlic, chili pepper, and cilantro give it a sharp, fresh finish.
Whisk the fish sauce, lemon juice, and sugar in a bowl for 5 minutes so the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the finely chopped garlic, chopped chili pepper, and cilantro to the mixture and stir for 5 minutes.
Before serving, let the sauce rest at room temperature for 10 minutes so the flavors can meld.
If you leave the seeds in the chili pepper while chopping it, the sauce will be much hotter than expected; start by adding half and taste it. Contains fish.
