Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by assembling all the ingredients for your Thai cilantro sauce: fresh cilantro, green chilies, sugar, garlic, water, fish sauce, and freshly squeezed lime juice.
  2. Chop the green chilies and garlic into smaller pieces, then rinse the cilantro thoroughly under cold water.
  3. Place all your prepared ingredients—cilantro, green chilies, garlic, sugar, and fish sauce—into your blender. Pour in the fresh lime juice and a small amount of water.
  4. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and vibrant green.
  5. Taste your sauce and adjust flavors as needed by adding more lime juice for zing or sugar for sweetness. If too thick, gradually add more water.
  6. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
